The "death wobble" can sometimes simply be fixed. sometimes it is ball joints, depending on how handy you are you already know that. but I have 2 1995 Jeep Cherokee, and one 2001 Jeep Cherokee and all problems were a $7.99 fix. Yes, I said $7.99 I bought the bolt at AUTOZONE, but feel free to shop around. I did buy the bushing for $7.99 as well, but the bolt with crush washers on either side and a nut, cost about $7.99.
Anyway, starting cheap just replace that traction bar bolt and tighten to spec. or do what I did and almost permanently tighten it on. either way the "death wobble" is gone.
Other indicators are wheel bearing, ball joint, rusting coil spring brackets. all cost about $85.00-125.00 for the parts. The largest cause of the "death wobble" is aftermarket installation at home for private mechanics., how do not do the proper installation. I learned that on my own. If this help anyone please like this or just share it with those who need to know.
