You don't have death wobble, you probably have worn out balljoints.

You can't have death wobble with IFS and R&P steering.
Plus a steering stabilizer does not fix death wobble,they have no idea what a steering stabilizer actually does.
Why not?

IFS,each front wheel is independent of each other besides turning,both wheels must be on the same plane for death wobble to occur as in a SFA.
One wheel with play(tie rod or ball joint) in a IFS will not effect the other side,both wheels must be effected for death wobble.
Most who claim to have death wobble do not have death wobble.

Death wobble is complete loss of control of the steering wheel,it shakes so violently you can not hold on and have no control of where your vehicle will go.You will s@#t yourself,or about to,if you ever experience it.
Anything can cause death wobble except a bad steering stabilizer(or lack of one).90% of all cases are multiple problems that compound on each other.

Ya i watched that video after the thread was started.
Did you check balance of tires? Do not know sit.,but do know mud on rims/tires will give the shakes.
And how, after a recent trip to a muddy beach where we all got a little stuck we ended up spending a good hr on the roadside getting dry mud off of the rims after it had hardened to something like concrete. Couldn't go over 30mph until it was all off. Was so bad I thought I'd broken something until we all stopped with the same problem then realized it was the mud.
I come from a CJ/XJ ownership background and I can't tell you how many times Jeeping buddies have gone mudding on Sunday without cleaning the undercarriage and wheels then freaked out driving to work Monday morning when the Jeep rode like a buckboard wagon from the wheels out-of-balance...
