Ok I have a damper but the last kingpin I replaced I could still feel it wobble even though there was no movement in the hub just a little bit of excess oil on the swivel. I do have alloys though that will take the cone on a balance machine?
I've not seen Jimny alloys, but usually, alloys are located central by a ring on the hub engaging in the machined central bore, the nuts/bolts just keep them on, so they are balanced with a cone. The later Jimnys I think have this ring as the hole in the early brake discs is smaller than the later ones.
The steel wheels are located by the nuts and should be balanced attached to the flange on the machine (which lives in the "Box of Other Bits" and is a 5 minute job to swap onto the machine)
If it suddenly breaks, go back to the last thing that you did before it broke and start looking there
