Re: XJ Trackbar issues (Death wobble)
 

Death wobble is a caster issue. The 1.75" lift would not have enough effect on the track bar to
create death wobble. Adjustable control arms or offset ball joints should do the trick (allowing
you to adjust the caster). AEV Conversions sells the offset ball joints, but you can find them
through a local parts store for less $$$. I don't however know the part number you would need.
Also, any of the adjustable control arms should do the trick. I like RE.
