Normal movement for track bar and drag link end?

[Tyler362]

So this my first post on here so hopefully this is in the right spot!

Anyways, I’ve been having some death wobble on and off on my 2018 Jeep Wrangler Sport JL, 71k and completely stock. Durning the winter it did it more often. Now that it’s warm it doesn’t do it as much and it has to be a pretty significant bump in the road.
Fairly new at trying to figure this type of thing out. I’ve been up under it trying to see something obvious but could really use some knowledge on it.

I’ve attached some videos I took. Thanks for any feedback.

Torque check the ball joint nuts. If they're at the TQ value and there's still movement, then the links will need to be replaced.

Update: Went through and torqued everything. A few things a bit loose. One thing I did find interesting though was the bolts for the track bar looks to moving around.

Yeah… that’s what happens when they’re left loose for a long period of time. You’ll need new brackets or supplemental brackets now.
