Hi,
I need help diagnosing a steering wobble that has recently started. I have an ‘11 JKU Sahara, 35s, new 4” dual rate SkyJacker springs, new SkyJacker dual steering damper. Since I installed the new stuff I get a side to side wobble in the steering wheel and a general shake when turning slowly. Like from a stop or turning in a neighborhood. I jacked it up and tried shaking the wheels in all directions. Didn’t find anything loose. Any ideas what the issue might be?
 
Step 1: lose the steering dampers. All they do is mask problems. Then start checking to see what is worn or loose. How much play is there in the steering wheel? Now check that for everything else in the steering and suspension, not just the wheels.

Do you have adjustable control arms, adjustable front and rear track bars, are the axles centered under the Jeep?

How much tire pressure running in the tires?

Like Dirty Dog said the stabilizers are just a Bandaid to try and fix a problem that shouldn't be there.
