Wobble

Millions of posts all over and I just haven't found what I'm looking for. My 01 F250 is in sad shape. P/S ball joints went south and it took a couple of days to find time to replace them. I did so and I have this death wobble at times. It will toss you around in the truck, it's so bad. So today I'm under it checking everything. I did an alignment on it. I set it at a 1/16" tow in. It was more and was scuffing my tires some. Tie Rod ends are good and tight, track bar is good and tight, drag link has a little more play than before, I can twist it, but no play with the wheel side to side observed. Factory stabilizer is okay. U/bolts are tight, sway bar ends are newer. I don't know wtf is wrong. It was fine before the ball joints took a dump. Tires are balanced. Isn't like I'm running a lift. It is all Ford under it with 285 tires. Anything you guys can think of would be helpful.

Ford says my steering box, so I'll get it replaced when I can.
