I will try to explain what we did in my best english..
First guess was the lower panhardrod mount.. the bolt had seized the thread in the captive nut so the stealer tapped new thread in it (£21) and I drove off but soon noticed it didnt solve the killer wobble.
Went back to the dealer and he came with me for a ride and couldnt tell me exact what was wrong and said the kingpins had worn and if that didnt cure the problem he'd start replacing stuff till it worked out (read expensive!!!!!) so I went to my friend from www.customoffroad.eu and we took the car for a drive we than changed the tires from back to front.. No difference after that we swapped for Sj413 standart steely's but again it didnt solve the wobble.. double checked everything underneath the car to see if there was any play somewhere.. we couldnt find anything.. So he offered me a solution that was to cut the welds a little on the ends of the axle and rotate the swiveljoints backwards 3degrees in that way the kingpins aligned better with the steering of the weels.. you need to see the jimny front wheels as those shoppingcar wheels once they go straight its all ok but at some speed they rattle around cause they are not exactly in line ( will draw a picture cause it says more than thousand words) He than adjusted the steering a little tighter and all the irritating wobble dissapeared.. hope you guys get it..

Mine has wobble but cutting the axles seems drastic?
Glad it worked for you
