I have or had Death Wobble (Its better now). My caster was wrong, i had a slight movement in my Stabilizer, and my alignment was off a little. So far the jeeps been acting better...I still want to take my Trackbar off and check for ovaling.

Had the dealer balance all five wheels yesterday.. I did recently put on wheel spacers too, but i remove the metal rings from around the lug bolts and used locktite when installing them

Im using a Click-torque 1/2 drive wrench. Those tires shouldnt have more than 15-20k miles on them, a decent amount of tread should be left.
I'll give ya a call when i get out of work tonight to see if your around. Thanks man
Also i did replace the tie rod that connects to the pitman arm, not sure if that may cause a problem if i didnt adjust it correctly

if anybody has a 4 door soft top they want to sell i could use one. I really only need the frame but will buy a whole top if the price is decent.

Friday Dec 16th Run (TOMORROW)
Table Mesa (East Side)
Meeting at 8am at Table Mesa Exit East side of Rd.
All Jeep and buddy vehicles welcome. Stocks will be able to do this run and there is only a few tiny bypasses and we will be crossing water around 9 times. Andrew and I did this trail last week, but none of the washes had water but now its possible from the rain the past few days. Run will take around 4 hours give or take...
Any questions shoot me a text or call at 480-206-8275

I checked the torque on the trackbar, Centerd the steering wheel, retightened the tierod and drag link ends, balanced the tires and got a alignment check.. When i installed the trackbar and control arms, the bolts were loose and i tightened them with the wheels on the ground but still getting shaking in front end.
Anyone know anything i may of missed? im also not using the drop pitman arm that came with the lift as i couldnt get that btch off
