Need Help with Death wobble

Since you're going to mess with the alignment, it can't hurt to get a tape measure and double check your toe in to make sure it's correct, and adjust it if not. Toe in is controlled with the sleeve on the tie rod. Should be 1/16"-1/8" IIRC, but some sources say 0.

1/8" would be excessive. The 1988 MJ factory service manual shows toe-in of zero preferred, with the acceptable range for EACH wheel -1/32 to +1/32 -- which means a gross measurement of +/- 1/16".

 

In practical terms, what you're aiming for is zero to 1/32" toe-IN when the wheels are rolling down the road. Setting for zero when the wheels are not moving doesn't make allowance for slop in worn tie rod ends, which may allow the wheels to toe out slightly as the rolling resistance builds up. A small amount of static toe-in compensates for this.
