I recently installed a 3.5" OME lift on my 2001 XJ and I've been fighting death wobble. I've searched a ton on death wobble causes & cures, and my best guess is mine is caused by bad LCA/UCA bushings.
I've got a new JKS adjustable track bar, just replaced a tie rod end, new steering dampener, and had some offset upper ball joints installed (old ones were shot and camber was corrected from -0.5deg to 0.3 deg). Had my tires balanced, got an alignment (Toe +0.11 deg, Camber +0.3deg, Caster -5.5 deg). Everything is torqued to spec and doesn't move when the steering wheel is moved side to side.
I noticed today that my stock control arms have a slight amount of play - I can twist all 4 of them slightly (maybe 1/8") while the jeep is sitting on the ground. I can't move them front to back. Is this amount of play normal or could this be the cause of my DW?
