Currie then the JKS. As for RE, my track bar has about a decade on it and no issue.
Steering Stabilizer Recommendations?

I agree. Currie or JKS would be the way to go.
Both of those have the proper geometry and bends where they need to be (to minimize the binding).
I run the Currie personally, and a buddy of mine runs the JKS. Both fine choices!

Being my TJ sees very little in the way of trails and way more pavement. I'm just looking for an affordable decent adjustable track bar. I just can't justify spending almost 4 bills on the Currie

Close to 15 years ago I used Rustys products on my XJ and they were all good stuff although his CS could be a bit lacking as far as shipping times. I also used Rubicon Express for most of the lift because at the time it was good stuff. Unfortunately, both seem to have taken a downward spiral in terms of quality.

Does this steering damper have everything I need? @Jerry Bransford mentioned the stock tapered end and needing new hardware. I know a steering damper is a basic dual valve so nothing fancy needed. This ones pretty cheap and matches some other RE stuff I have on the Jeep.

Yes, that will work. This is another popular choice as well:

I think that is what I have. It rusted pretty good though so I recommend tossing a couple coats of paint or clear before installing it.
Oh great, I bought the one you suggested and now @Ahoragi says it's gonna rust. Arghhh. I'll paint it I guess. Just another thing to do. Thanks though. I'm sure it will get the job done. At $24 it's not much!

That's why I'm going with the balancing beads. To solve DW. I thought I solved it with a new MC trackbar. It did help. But got it today, first time since May. Trackbar is still good at the axle. Beads first. I expect this will solve it. If it does I'll add the new stabilizer. Stabilizer doesn't solve DW, it only hides it for awhile. Wish I were wrong for everyone's sake, but I'm not. My alignment is perfect

Rear
I'm really hoping the balancing beads will solve it
Ok, explain this. I have had a shimmy in the steering since May bw 40-45mph. Then yesterday I got DW in that same mph zone. Arghh.
Frustrated, I removed my front wheels to make sure I had perfect alignment. As you can see from pic above I was dead on. I remounted the front wheels and no longer have a shimmy or DW. WTH?
I did remove the two factory lug nut thingies pictured below, from each side.
Could that have fixed my problem?
Only other thing I can imagine is that removing and remounting my tires changed the orientation of each to the other? Of course, that can happen on the road naturally. Make sense? Anyone ever heard of such a thing?
