I put new Shocks on the front AND........

It's a night and day difference It solved alot of my unstable front end issues. Except for one or two things the steering is just kinda loose feeling ive checked all steering joints, ball joints, trackbar, and control arms, and no the frame rail has no stress cracks. The only noticeble movement I dont think should be there is that the frame end of the trackbar seems to have some up and down movement in it when steering is turned. I think the axle may shift just a tiny bit forwards and backwards. I know the body shifts side to side from the axle when turned back and forth, Which leads me to the trackbar. Am i right in thinking this?

You need a new trackbar, and soon

maybe you should try and adjust your steering gearbox. When they get a bit worn there will be a very loose feeling in your steering.

I am still indeed aiming towards the trackbar. I'm not getting any deathwobble yet but its got that starting vibration that turns into death wobble I am going through death wobble with my wrangler and im pretty sure its a bad tie rod end on that.

The axle should NEVER move relative to the body. You need a new track bar.
