Steering issues

I have and 05 F250 6.0L 4X4, 85,000 miles, there are times when I turn left it doesn't want to come back straight I have to steer it back. Then when you do it feels as if it is pulling to the left if you bring back some it goes fast and feels like it is pulling to the right. It feels like tires are wobbling back and forth. I can stop and then work the steering wheel back and forth then all seems ok. Tie rod ends, ball joints, hubs and tires have all been checked out. Only does this once in awhile. Could it be the steeering stablizer? Looks like a factory one not an add on. Any help on what it could be or what else to check would be appreciated.

I know you said the hubs seem OK. Not sure if you mean the wheel bearings are fine but are you sure the locking hubs are releasing properly? I'd give those another quick check before moving on to a bad stabilizer.
