Read an article bout track bars in peterson 4 wheel drive n they broke it down to being tie rods,johnny joints aren't the best shear joints for a track were the way to go. Had my xj for 9 years i didn't do that much research in the beginning. But now I check whats the best before I spend the money.

Hey bud like I was saying a "wobble" can be hard to diagnose especially if we are not driving your vehicle. When you say wobble..Do you mean you can feel the wheels wobbling through the floorboards,the steering wheel or another spot? Jack up one side of your front end and get the tire off the ground and while pulling on the bottom of the tire with one hand push inward on the top with other hand doing a push pull motion and you shouldnt have any play, do the same test horizontally also. This will let you know what condition your uppr/lwr ball joints are in and also check wheel bearing. You also bought used tires.. Did you have them balanced before installing them? And also I'd have your alignment checkd asap. Most places do a free check for you like an STS or something similar.

Doing a few things I have on my short list before Saturday.
I'm going to relocate the stock from brake line brackets and straighten the brake line out to get a couple extra inches.. With the 3" lift it looks to have plenty left but I want to be on the safe side.
Was considering getting the 95 wrangler rear brake line to extend it 3 inches but the rear seems to have more than enough.
I was going to pull my front sway bar links off Saturday morning since I don't have discos yet and they are new links so I can take them off in 5 minutes easily. Any issues doing that? And I was going to leave the rear sway bar on and attached and just go with the front disconnected. Any better way to do it?

Take off the rear sway bar and throw it away, its not needed IMO

Here's what I got going on in the front and my idea just until I get a more permanent solution.

And this is what I have going on with the front brake lines. Just straightened the line some and working on drilling new holes for the bracket. Figured I'd get 2" extra if I'm lucky.

Maybe I should put on my new stabilizer and put on a new track bar than get an alignment?
