Hey, I'm having a bit of a wobble in the front end and it seems like it's on the driver side. The passenger side looks good. The driver side picture is with the steering wheel all the way to the left and passenger side all the way to the right. Thanks

One wheel looks turned and the other straight IMO. Better to have someone turn the wheel lock to lock and watch the tie-rods movement.
They are both turned fully

Grab the tie rod, yank hard up and down side to side. No free play is allowed

I couldn't detect any movement by yanking on it. Having someone sit in the Jeep and rock the wheel back and forth, I could feel the play in the drag link. The pics look fine, try the above. Also check the track bar
