worn steering stabilizer shock, get it changed

I had a 99 grand cherokee ltd and I've experienced the death wobble. That time for my Jeep they balance the front tires and permanently solved the problem. Now, I have another jeep ( same year and model, 4.7 V8 ) and this time balancing the tires did not solve the problem. It wasn't alignment neither although we think it is. Is actually several problems after my mechanic put it up on the hoist and used a giant clamp to inspect the parts under the truck's front and determined this; worn outer tie rods ends (left side and right side), worn tie rod ends(both sides), The entired drag link complete or kit needed to changed, the adjustment sleeves( both sleeves needed changed). He showed me the problem and I saw that those parts were loose and moving side to side and up and down. So yeah, either tire needs balance, alignment or what i just mentioned here above. And oh, not only my jeep shakes it also pulls to the right when let go of the steering wheel. My mechanic is a factory trained technician and have 20 years of experiences. we when for a spin and he said it wasn't the alignment although it appears that way, is all them parts (under) needed to changed.
