Not quite Death Wobble, More like Death Wiggle
I had a thread not to long ago on this. Been trying to fix my dads cherokee for weeks now. Anyway I changed all four ball joints and all tie rod ends and adjusting sleeves. Within the last 2 months I have also changed all four shocks and steering stabilizer. It still is wobbling at 45 and 53 MPH and just slightly shakes above 54. I am thinking trackbar at this point. How do I go about doing this and can I just change the bushings in the trackbar or what.

I had a 05 right hand drive jeep that did that as well and thought it was the track bar, and bought a new one for it, but turned out it just need a good alignment and rebalancing of the wheels and tires, I noticed you hadn't mentioned having done that yet. Sorry if I am out of line.

I am going to get it aligned next then. Plus it needs new tires so it may just be that. I just changed all four tie rod ends and the alignment is slightly off as it pulls to the left just a hair.

out of alignment, out of balance tires, TRE's and balljoints which you said you replaced, check for play in the trackbar on the axle and frame end, worn out control arms, incorrect caster..
im trying to find a link on NAXJA for you
