All jeeps, and just about any solid front axle vehicle really, develop death wobble as parts wear. Just a side effect of how they are designed. Normally its minor on stock vehicles as there is not a lot of mass in the steering system. When you lift and add larger tires it add more mass and changes the geometry which in turn makes the whole system react much more violently. Its so common that steering stabilizers exist in the after market to correct it. I'm honestly surprised that its only now being really looked into by Congress.

example. replaced a transmission in a 98 dakota. in order to remove the inspection shield... yes the inspection shield to remove the torque converter bolts you have to disconnect the engine from the motor mount brackets and lift the engine up and away according to alldata. glad i get paid by the hour.
and its not even the big stuff like that, every clip the latch is facing away from you. where theres bolts there should be studs, where there should be studs theres bolts lol. evil i tell ya

i actually got that trans back together no problem, i just left the inspection shield out, its a friend of mines truck so he didnt care. whats funny is i googled around to see if it worked as a spacer or anything like that and didnt really find any posts about leaving it out but a few that said they bought one and its missing the inspection cover and they want to replace it lol. hmm wonder why it was left out
