Can't speak for the CJ, but when it happened in our ZJ it nearly
scared us to death. It was a combination of loose stuff in the front
end. Had to replace the steering stabilizer, track bar, tie-bar ends
and drag links. That solved the wobble. The last fix was to replace
the stabilizer bar link bushings. It's like new now. I'm sure your
problem is somewhere in the same areas. A good front-end man can tell
you by watching things move while someone turns the steering wheel
back and forth.
