The trackbar and ball joints are all suspect. You need to diagnose which one is loose and fix that. Just fixing the trackbar while your ball joints are slopy is just delaying the bigger problem at a later date.
Bought the Chevy 67 PU used. I fixed the front end like this video suggests. They should rename the Derp Wobble for the morons who dont maintain their vehicles.
apparently this happens to stock JKs because of a factory mistake. See this video showing a very common cause. This isn't my video, I just found it on Youtube when searching for causes for this problem.
so that's probably coming from loosened linkages in the suspension, control arms, or maybe the ball joints. Then it oscillates a little bit at all speeds, but passes through resonance, greatly amplifying the oscillations. Either put a damper somewhere in the system or make sure all of your joints are really nice and tight

@thunder4315 most common cause is worn Trac bar bushing and bad stablizer. Cool vid of it in action.
