Definitly do not install a steering stabalizer at this point. It will only mask the problem and make it harder to figure out. The streering on your jeep has alot of places you could get play from. The only way to rule things out are physical inspection while someone turns the wheel back and forth. It sounds kinda dum but i dont know of any other way. Start at the steering column and work your way down. There are u-joints in the column which wear out. Thier could be some slop in the box. Check all your tie-rod ends for play. Did you use quality shackles that have the two plates welded together so they dont rock. After a lift on a one of my jeeps I noticed rocking where the shackle mounts to the frame. Welding the shackle hangers to frame helped tremendously. Since you did an egine swap are you turning the pump to fast? Did this happen after you did something like the lift or engine swap that should lead to to figure it out. A drop pitman arm would not hurt but wouldnt cause play in the wheel. Bearings are a long shot unless you have not done your brakes in a very long time and did not repack the bearings and did not tighten the nuts on the hub tight enough. Youll find it. Are all of those post about the same truck? Goodluck.[addsig]
