Good morning!

I have a 2005 Rubicon that I got about a year ago from a friend of mine.

3.5" lift with 32.8" tires.
RE springs with matching shocks
Supporting mods.

About 6 weeks ago it started getting death wobble every once in a while, and then more frequently until the Jeep was basically unable to be driven. It's not a daily driver.

I replaced the RE track bar with a Currie because of everything I read. I also replaced the RE stabilizer with a new one, bought quicker disconnects *(mainly cosmetic I'm embarrassed to say) and rotated my tires front to back.

The wobble didn't go away.

I bought the Currie correctlynk steering system, installed it, and did an at home alignment with some aluminum square bar.

The wobble is much better, but still there.

I think the bracket for the steering stabilizer has made contact with the track bar. I'll rotate it slightly up this evening.

The pitman arm is NOT a drop.

What do you think I should do next? I'm running out of ideas. Control arms are reasonably new.

Steering box?
Rear trackball?
 
Ball Joints, Control Arms, Upper Control Arm Bushings? At what speed does it happen at? Have you done a dry steering test?
