Cherokee Therapy 13: Death Wobble Returns, Part 1 (Full Front End Disassembly)

I nearly wrecked my Jeep on a trip to the coast in SC. At 60 miles per hour I hit a bump in the road and it went into a violent death wobble that I barely got under control. At that point I bought a full set of high end parts for the front end and grit my teeth for a rebuild - to see what it was that was causing me to have reoccurring DW. Did I find it? Yes. Here is a full list of the parts I bought (I'll place links to them in parts 2 and 3):

2 Spicer axle u-joints
2 Spicer Ball joints, upper
2 Spicer Ball joints, lower
2 SKF hub/bearing units
2 Rukse urethane bushings for axle-end of upper control arms
2 Moog upper control arm bushings (I needed their steel shells for the Rukse bushings, above)
1 Moog urethane bushing for axle end of my Rough Country adjustable track bar
1 Iron Rock Off Road urethane bushing for the frame end of my Rough Country adjustable trackbar
2 Core 4x4 Tier 3 Upper Control Arms
2 Core 4x4 Tier 3 Lower Control Arms
1 RT Heavy Duty Steering Kit with damper (I did not have the $ for a stinky fab 1 ton kit, which is what I want; I do not recommend RT)

Total Cost: ~$1000.00, maybe more; I'm scared to add it up.
