As cncjim4 pointed out to me, "The lead screws are designed without bearings to help prevent wobble if the lead screws are bent at all or if the coupling bores are not concentric adding bearings will increase wobble." He's right and you should ensure that your lead screws are both perfectly straight. I checked by rolling them across a granite counter top and observing for any wobble or signs that the surfaces aren't perfectly parallel along the entire length. Failure to do this will likely result in decreased print quality.
I tried several Z wobble upgrades but few fit right and the ones that are close don't secure the lead screw.
I designed this based off of my Tronxy P802MA printer and I can't guarantee that it will work for others. There is a piece for the left and right side so be sure you pay attention when adding them. Each piece is 10mm in height and holds a single 608 bearing. It's a tight fit so you'll need to press or hammer the bearing in.
The Z wobble upgrade attaches to the 8mm guide rod, the 8mm lead screw and the 3mm screw that holds down the piece on top that secures the guide rod. The center of each of these holes is 17mm apart, creating an equilateral triangle. This fits my printer perfectly but you can use the Tinkercad file to make changes if yours is different.
