You should get a track bar brace and install that also as well as replace your hardware to remove the slop. The oem upper track bar bolt is fully threaded instead of a shoulder bolt and is also too small for the hole. The weight of the jeep damages the mount and the threads destroy the track bar bushings causing play. I had wallowing in the mount at 800 miles on the factory setup. I swapped everything out and has been great. The front track bar mount on the drivers side is made of thin shitty steel and has always been a problem since the JKs.

Noted. Do you remember the size of the shoulder bolt?

I’ve been running without a steering stabilizer for a few months now with no issue. While I’d prefer to have one (a long story and haven’t had time to fab a mount yet), if you’re getting wobbles it’s definitely something else.
