I have a new to me 2018 Rubicon Unlimited JL. Experienced the death wobble. I had the Synergy steering bracket (135,000 mi. out of warranty) installed to steering box. I also added a steering stabalizer and balanced tires along with a rotation. Still experienceing loose steering wheel and a fair ammount of wondering. No death wobble yet. I read that wondering is a Jeep thing and it is to be excepted. No worn front end parts that I am aware of. What would be my next move in order to tighten her up a bit, or should I just except her the way she is, a wondering loosy goosy Jeep?

Ball joints, the factory ones have a plastic ball liner, and no way to grease them. At your mileage, it’s time to replace them.

Which is it?

As far as the question in the thread's title goes: posting two threads on the same basic subject skews those results.
