Backstory: had the Ironman4x4fab one ton steering system, steering brace, track bar, track bar cross brace, track bar drop bracket and sway bar drop installed along with the adjustable short arms, adjustable rear shackles and relocation bracket. Everything was awesome, steering was tight with zero issues. That was in March.
A little over a month ago I had a shop install the Advanced Adaptor SYE with an Adam’s driveshaft and set my pinion angle. While he had it up on the rack I asked him to do the oil pan gasket. He had to drop the track bar cross brace in order to clear the pan which meant undoing the track bar as well. Picked up the Jeep and everything was good. I didn’t notice any issues with steering.
Recently, noticed a shimmy in the front end on the freeway. Thought maybe my alignment was off so I had it done. No change. Then it progressed to slight death wobble on the freeway. Now it’s bad.
Track bar and drag link are aligned, caster is done correctly, ball joints are barely a year old. Thought maybe my u-joints were going, but when I had the wife work the steering back and forth while I watched I saw what looked to me like serious tie rod roll. Attached is a video.

Why would this not be an issue before and suddenly now be one? I’m out of my league here and need help. I emailed Andy at Ironman as well.
