Death Wobble Help!

A shaking steering wheel means a shaky tire... out of balance.

Back to the tire shop. Why I am i not going into DW? The OEM trackbar was moving at the axle. So with the new trackbar I'm centered up. Is the new trackbar keeping it from rocking back and forth so much and just transferring vibrations to the steering wheel?

Well I found out I have ball joint issues. Big upper and lower. Both sides as well as outer tie rod and tie rod to the pitman arm [emoji849]. Now I'm on the hunt for parts. Mine RHD so the tie rods may be pricy

Oh, and should mention, drives pretty good on the freeway, not much vibes, if any,

So frustrating! I hope you solve it long before your wallet is empty

Ok, try this on for size, and thanks for your patience with a Noob (yes, that's a capital N because I've grown up a little). So I had the steering shakes, got under the Jeep this morn to re-check my torque settings on the new Trackbar. Everything looked good, checked axle center and it was almost perfect, settled in. But I saw a good size blob of grease on the inside of the passenger wheel. So I cleaned it all up. No steering shakes. Purrs like a kitten. NEVER UNDERESTIMATE THE IMPORTANCE OF WHEEL BALANCE. I've read 0.25oz can make a difference. Thanks @Jerry Bransford.
