Northridge bolt kit end all solution for death wobble?
I have a case of death wobble and it seems to slowly be getting worse. I am *Almost* stock. I have a shrockworks middy front bumper with a Warn 9.5Ti and a 1.5" daystar leveling kit in the front to level out after the added weight. Other than that my Jeep is bone stock. I am going to be lifting in a month or less, my aftermarket ball joints are on back order and I have to wait for them.
I don't want to sink any money in to stock parts seeing as a lot will be getting ripped out shortly. I did notice that my steering wheel is off center a few degrees. Nothing major, but off none the less. Was wondering if the bolt kit is a worthwhile investment or not? Lift Kit I'm installing is a Tera 4" Long Arm, not sure if I can transfer the bolt kit over to that after or?? This is on a 2009 Rubi Unlimited.

There's a super long thread on this with good pictures and videos. After reading that, ordering new bolts was a no brainier for me. I think the evidence s pretty clear that without the right bolts it's just a matter of time before you get erosion and play which ultimately lead to the wobble of death.
