I'm really surprised no one has yet to touch on this question. Is it 2 wheel drive or 4 wheel drive? There are several differences between the two concerning suspension and steering components. If you let me know, I can see if I have a steering and suspension diagram available.

I had a Jeep Grand Cherokee 4x4 that developed the death wobble. It was more pronounced when going down hill and after touching the brakes. I had several shops look at it and they recommended ball joints, new tires, tie rod ends, steering damper, alignment, etc. I finally had one shop figure it out and show me where the issue was. The upper and lower control arm bushings were shot. I ended up getting new control arms and replacing all four. Got an alignment and it was all good up to the day I gave it to my grandson. Now he has had it for the past 2 years with no issues.

Not saying this is your problem, but it would help to know the drivetrain.
