Don't want to beat a dead horse but here it goes.
2018 Wrangler Rubicon unlimited JL.
Addressed the death wobble by installing steering box brase by synergy, adjustable front and rear track bars, alignment and tire totation. So far all good, tight steering at high speeds, no wondering and no wobbling.Sooo, why so many say this is a temporary fix? What's next and why? Yeah, running 35's with spacers.
New used jeep to me. Coming of a 2002 Toyota tacoma.

It's only a temporary fix if the root cause is something else (i.e. loose trackbar). If what you have replaced was the root cause, you are good to go. Some people say replacing a bad steering stabilizer is just masking the problem. If you do something and the problem goes away, call it a mask, call it temporary. I call it a win.

I have the same year JLU and I had the same issue. The ball joints in the 2018s are notoriously bad. Get your shop to check those out. Mine were bad AND I ended up swapping out the draglink and tie rod with the RPM 2.5ton kit too. That fixed it and it drives perfect now. I just have to get the sector shaft brace to deal with that dead spot in the steering. Did that brace help your loose steering?

The brace along with the steering stabilizer worked well but I did not know for how long based on what people are saying in the forum, so I went ahead and added the heavy duty adjustable track bar for reinforcement. This is why I'm asking what's next. You know opinions are lik
e assholes, everyone has one, so who do you listen too? Thanks for the help.

I totally get that. You really only have a few more options. Ball joints, tie rod and/or draglink. That's why I did them all at the same time.
