You just need to get a steering stabilizer in there then. On a CJ they
go on the tie rod and bolt to the axle tube. You can't drive a CJ
without one.

I'd have to differ on that. My 83 CJ7 is my daily driver and I'm running
37": MTRs SOA with no stabilizer at all and I have NO wobble problems of any
sort.

Then you have the alignment off or have 'perfect' tires and components
with no wear yet.
Driving like that is suicide up here in slush country, we get the death
wobble from slush or snow sticking to rims and that is with 'good'
stabilizers.
