Getting desperate here, Death wobble

Curious to know where this is going. One thing I haven't seen mentioned is shocks. What I found on my Toyota (cross over steering, no track bar) was that worn shocks, reduced compression dampening specifically, allowed excessive bump steer which led to DW. I definitely feel your pain!

update

Put in the new tie rod from the zj back in, put in a new drag link which was cheap(now every tie rod is now new), and added another steering stabilizer mounted horizontally from the diff to the tie rod.

Steering is much better now. Drove on super bumpy road going around 50 and could not get it to death wobble. Steering still jerks a bit but will not escalate to death wobble. Im happy with the results right now but I'll probably have someone weld a new plate for the track bar mount on the axle side to get it as tight as possible. Also thinking about getting better rims since it still vibrates around 55-60mph. They said my rims couldn't be balanced very well. The new shock looks kinda stupid so eventually might find a way to get it mounted over the tie rod. Still going to adjust caster further just waiting to get new sway bar links so they aren't touching the shocks. Should caster be different for low pinion and high pinions diffs? I have low pinion?

Caster should be 6-8 deg regardless.

The culprit on my XJ was the track bar. The original one was torqued down well enough, but I did not notice the slight ovaling of the passenger side mount.

I installed http://www.ironman4x4fab.com/Products/TB.html and it saved the XJ from heading to the junk yard.
