While on matters suspension anyone know of a knowledgeable Jeep suspension specialist in Perth. I am trying to track down a wobble at 87kph and feels a bit like old WJ Death Wobble in early stages and I suspect worn bushes or the like?

On a US Jeep forum, that lots from here frequent also, there is a thread about rear shocks for QL.
Consensus there, and feedback from those who have changed their rear shocks are for Bilstein 4600 series part number 24-22547.
Now if you chase these around they are noted for non suspension levelling vehicles but as far as anyone can work out this refers to the Nivomat levelling system fitted as standard to non QL vehicles we get here (but an option in the US). The top mountings for the Nivomat are different, so they won't fit those vehicles.
Owners who have fitted these Bilsteins say they are a drop in for QL vehicles, and work well, better than OE.
I've not chased up any AU pricing or availability on these but shouldn't be too hard to get. Price might be another matter.

I think the number for vehicles with air suspension is 68069676AD
but the descriptions are a bit confusing.

Currently in NZ where the 2012 WK is .Back in Aus tomorrow.Will be fitting them when I go back to NZ in Dec.Note top mount needs a go through socket to fit shaft to chassis mount.or make one.
