Death wobble....track bar

I know, lots of threads but I've narrowed it down. I think. That's why I'm posting, to get some good knowledge from more experienced folks.

2020 stock Wrangler unlimited 2.0. 92,000 miles. Occasional light DW so trying to get ahead of it before it gets worse.

Bad OEM shocks resulted in cupped tires; Bilstein 5100s ordered along with steering stabilizer. 265/70R17 Cooper AT3/4S tires rebalanced well, but considering replacing.

Jacked up the Jeep, pushed & pulled on everything, and the only thing that moved underneath (by hand) was the track bar.

Looking for recommendations on track bar replacement and thoughts/opinions on tire replacement, and any other ideas.


Appreciate feedback~~thanks in advance.

Honestly, unless your bolts are loose, the wobble you're feeling is most likely NOT caused by your track bar. While it really shouldn't make a difference, your problem is most likely being caused in part by your steering stabilizer. For some reason, the electric steering pump on the JL/JT does weird things and I have found on multiple occasions that the installation of a Rancho stabilizer alone can fix what you're feeling.

That said, if you really do feel the problem is your track bar (and it very well could be). I would recommend this.

It's cheap and I have personally found it to do a good job.
 
Appreciate that -- will check all bolts for tightness, install the new parts and see before ordering the track bar.
