Could be a few different things. He is on the right track. Check camber, wheels balanced and alignment which he checked. My death wobble comes and goes.....

There is a wealth of info on this site about death wobble, a simple search will get a lot of your questions answered. If the tj is all stock its most likely going to be a bad bushing somewhere....start with the trac bar

Yeah, but it would have to be like 9 pages long to cover all the possible causes.

x2 on starting with the track bar. If it is muddy or dirty, pressure wash everything first and look for cracks in the brackets, broken welds, and worn out bushings.

The List of things could be a mile long,

Check the Balljoints, Wheel bearings, Tierod ends, Trackbar mounts/ends, Control arms and bushings

Does it start at 60 or does something start it? Like a bump or so.
