Default Weird wobble at low speeds

I have a 2007 2dr jk, i recently did all 4 ball joints which I thought would fix this wobble. Wobble starts when I hit a bump and going around 40 if you slow out the wobble gets worst and worst but if you speed up it goes away. Anyone else experience this ?

Could be a number of things, really. Is your tie rod bent? This will toe in your alignment and cause that wobble. I would suggest checking that first, followed by getting an alignment from a shop who can do it right. JKs are super finicky when it comes to the front axle setup, and if it's not set just right it will throw little tantrums. A better steering stabilizer will help mute the wobbles, but its not fixing the problem.

Default check your track bar

stock track bars are junk on jeeps at least make sure its 125 lbs of torque on those bolts or it will cause a shake or the death wobble if theres movement
