Jeep JK Floating at speeds
Hi..Again. I had posted a question about death wobble..who hasn't? lol. That said..I went down that rabbit hole of chasing the death Wobble phantom.. and Killed him with a couple $$ of remedies ..I have replaced the ENTIRE front suspension and tires.. and now the front end feels like it's "Floating" when driving , especially at over 55mph speeds. It feels as though it needs a lot of "correcting" when driving.. and when you correct it.. it pulls dramatically in that direction.. so you correct the opposite and.. it jerks the wheels in that direction ..
I've replaced:
1. All 4 tires from Mickey Thompson Bajas to BF Good rich AT's 315/75R16's
2. both frontWheel Hub Assemblies
3. replaced the brakes and 2 rotors ( rotors were on the rear)
4. Drag Link
5. Track Bar
6. Upper and Lower ball joints on both front side
7. Tie rod assembly and both side ends
8. Both steering stabilizers
9.had the alingment redone twice and it "checked out" with minor adjustments after I replaced the tires
ANY ideas as to what the remaining issue(s) might be?

Can you snap a picture of your alignment specs? New ball joints usually take a little breaking in as they are initially stiff, which tends to feel like you're constantly correcting, especially at lower speeds. Little confused by floating feeling you note.
Might check your hubs and bearings. Lift and try moving the wheel around. I had a bobble-head problem at that turned out to be the issue. Took me way to long to realize it... made a huge difference once replaced.
