I think there's a lot of reading material both here and on JKowners. Again, I've never had a reason to research steering boxes so haven't read a ton on the topic, but this seems to be a common issue, especially on the earlier models. I think you need to focus on this area....the box and intermediate shaft. I'd try to resolve that first as it could be all or a lot of your problems. Reading a bit sounds like that does cause some steering wheel shake over bumps and such. Seems a lot of people were greasing their intermediate shafts to quite the clunk, but that doesn't sound to me like a fix, just a bandaid.
