WJ has a ball joint on top of the rear end, they are prone to failure. Another common fault death Wobble, I found the JK Upper Moog Bushing fits the WJ trackbar, Have to drill out the hole to 9/16" I'll be replacing the lower with the same JK Bushing on the lower end too. Another common fault was a TSB about Brakes causing Death Wobble, if its 02 or older replace with the upgraded ones from 03/04. Bad about warped brake rotors.

Nice score on the control arms, however I would still suggest either replacing the rear upper ball joint and if it's lifted adding a spacer block on it or changing out the rear a-arm all together with a fabricated unit that uses flex joints and eliminates the rear ball joint. Iron rock and Rustys Offroad makes one, as does a smaller fab shop called Ironman4x4. That's what I did, as I found after lifting and changing out the rear ball joint, the lift placed enough stress on it to blow it out after only a couple of months. I went with the Ironman4x4 unit as it uses flex joints on all corners and was a really simple install. Solved all the rear end wandering problems.

Might as well do the rear upper a-arm while you're replacing the control arm's; bushings could be bad as well. Have you thought of replacing the wheels w/more modern GC wheels? Offer up here in AZ has a lot of nice & inexpensive newer GC wheels, 18's & 20's in black, that would look great on a WJ. Might give it a look before you buy new tires.

yea... I'm sure I'll get to the A-arm eventually. I have considered new Jeep takeoffs.. just gotta find the right style 😁

Welcome to the old WJ club... Save yourself some aggravation and just go to the parts store and buy every suspension part they make for it. The rear upper has that crazy ball joint on the diff and I can tell you from experience the ones on each end are toast as well, it drives like it has a hinge in the middle when those are loose and I am sure they are. Replace the lowers as well. Same up front, uppers and lowers, do the track bar as well. Don't wimp out doing the axle bushings for the uppers. They are a pain in the ASS but must be done, trust me on this. When you get death wobble at 70 mph you will know what I mean. I have an 04 Limited 4.7HO that was given to me in a much abused state with 145,000 on it. I put a pile into it engine and suspension wise but now it rides great and is reliable as a rock. I do know these things inside and out now, that's for sure.

Like dan just said, I have the exact same set up on mine, 2inch lift, 01 wj, 4.7 v8 unlimited. The death wobble is caused by the small factory sway bars both front and rear. How I fixed mine, was I upgraded both the front and rear swaybars to a thick beefed up off road ones and new really hard poly bushings, if you miss this part and by to soft, your still going to have issues. At the time I replaced all my bushings and control arms, lift, sway bars and everything elsa back in 2010, I've used it as a daily driver every day since and its never given me issues. At the time nobody sold new endlinks that would compensate for the 2 inch lift. So I bought some stock steel tubing and made my own endlinks to fit the new off road sway bars all around with the 2 inch lift. Your going to need to ad a 2 inch lift to the wishbone ball joint, the angle isn't that extreme with the 2 inch lift but its just enough to blow out that wishbone ball joint. I personally went through 2 before I realized the issue, and made one out of the old ball joints, it came out perfect!
