So i have finally got my jeep back on the road. Fastest I have gone is about 50. Anytime on get over 45 i start getting this vib. IT kinda feels like a real slight death wobble, the faster I go the worse it seems to get. its def coming from the front end but i cant figure out what it is. Its not as bad as death wobble but feels slighty the same, agian I havent gone over 50 so I dont know how bad it gets.
In past every time i wheel my track bar comes loose and i have to tighten it. and i just got my control arm mount re welded.
Plz I dont want a bunch of post of oh i had death wobble once and it was this. If any thinks they have a real good idea of some things this could be coming from let me know.
Thx Cody

idk if you did this but make sure your control arm bushings arent shot from the death wobble before, i had the same exact issue you have now and thats what it was

ok so the bushing being shit could be the problem.. this is very possible, im pretty sure these bushings have been on 3 jeeps now. To get an ideal how hard and how much is it to replace bushings?

the SF joints might be loose... my RE SF lowers rubber side looked like the stock arms i took off so i dont think thats the issue.
are they newer style with the adjuster? pick up a RE SF wrench and tighten them. if theyre older they need to be 'rebuilt' with new races. grab em like a monkey gorilla and shake shake and see if they move.

I got deathwobble on the way to rausch and the SF joints were loose i ended up putting different arms in when i got home and that was the problem. if they are loose replace them or tighten them and that should fix the problem.
