[QUOTE="redcardinal, post: 434874, member: 19795"] Okay. I've reversed one of the front springs to match the other and replaced everything replaceable, except for the anti-swaybar bushings which I forgot to order. They are available locally though. Changing out the parts didn't help the wobble issue or improve the ride in any way. But, I shouldn't have to do it again. I replaced the steel wheels and tires all around with a set of tires on aluminum rims that were given to me. The new wheels have a much shallower dish so the track width narrowed by about 4 inches (2" on each side). I had the previous wheels/tires spin balanced by a local shop right after I purchased the Jeep, but after changing to the new setup, NO MORE DEATH WOBBLE!! And the ride is MUCH better with the aluminum wheels. I learned a long time ago that to make a vehicle ride better all you have to do is reduce the un-sprung weight. Since this Jeep will spend most of it's remaining life with us on the street, mild trails, or being towed, the aluminum wheels shouldn't be a problem. I've ordered a stock body mount kit 3 times from different major vendors in the last 3 weeks. It is interesting how vendors will show an item in stock, accept payment online, then days later when it's time to ship realize the don't have any in stock and offer to refund your money in 7-10 business days. It appears that the last order, from Jegs, has actually shipped today. I should have ordered from them first I guess. I'll post again with pictures after I get the body mounts changed to what they should be. [/QUOTE]
