After recently swapping out a newer front axle, I have adjusted my trac bar and of course unbolted all the steering. The jeep rides great when I don't hit bumps, which is when it goes into a bad death wobble. My parents went and had it alligned, so I couldn't see the work they did, or the comparison sheet, but it did get better. No bad wobbles really, until a couple of days later. Now I have that wobble back, and I don't understand what is going on. I'm going to tighten all of my control arms again to see if that may help, because when it does wobble, I hear a very hard knocking coming from the front left tire. It seems that's where the wobbling is initiating, but by golly, it won't keep from wobbling.
I was thinking that maybe my rod ends would be worn, especially on the drag link and pitman arm, since I am able to rotate the drag link inwards and outwards, if that makes much sense. With other tj's I was inspecting, they had very tight drag links that I couldn't really even move without trying too hard.
Could all of these things be the accumulating factors to my death wobble? I never had death wobble before the axle swap, unless I messed with the lift, which was followed by an allignment and a quick fix. Somebody please give some advice, since I have to drive this around highways, and it's getting rather dangerous with all that wobbling.
