No one's mentioned the easiest and cheapest solution (I don't think) ... get an alignment.

If your track bar bushing look okay, tighten the bolts to 125 ft. lbs. and get an alignment. This solves 90% of all DW problems.

If bushings look fubar or the trackbar has a lot of play, replace the track bar.

A new/upgraded steering stabilizer is only a band-aid on the problem ... future DW episodes will wear out even the beefiest SS.
