track bar/tie rod maybe??
I'm not sure what is going on with my truck i thought maybe the ball joints? but ive looked & thought maybe my tie rod ends. ever sice i went mudding its been like this. driving back i got it into 4th and my front tires started bouncing but when i slowed down it went away.
here are some pictures its muddy but maybe someone could help me what it might be?
thanks.

Hard to diagnose based on pics alone, you really need to get the front-end up on stands and check the ball joints, drag link, tie rod ends, etc. for excessive wear,
but having said that it does appear your passenger side tie rod end may have some play to it, if so this can mimic an out of balance wheel and cause some pretty serious front-end wobble over 35-40mph.

Your truck is a F250 it does not have a "track bar" that is a 1/2 ton item, and yes your passenger side tie rod end looks like it's due replacement.
With the truck setting still, running, have some one turn the steering wheel back and forth few inches rather quickly and look for some (radial and axle) play in the tie rod ends.
Easy to replace, rent a tie rod fork, pop them out, count threads/rotations and remove and replace just the ends, as long as you main cross bar is not bent.
I dig flatbeds!

$140/Moog/TRW or $170/Spicer, i just did mine last summer and opted for the Spicer part, the hardest part of the job for me was getting the damn frozen castle nut off,
the one that holds the hydraulic ram to the tie rod, set your toe-in (1/8") with a tape and you're done.
