its like when your driving a wobble? you can keep it straight but every now and then it wobbels almost hadme worried even slowed down to keep straight and have noticed the steering wheel is not centered. would a more heavey duty stabilizer and all new sway bar bushings stop it the PO said he did replace all the ball joints before adding new tires and also a new allinment.

If the steering wheel is not centered, then the alignment that was done isn't correct.
Is this truck lifted?
You don't know what your issue is, but I can guess the previous owner is feeding you a line of bull stuff. Don't throw any more parts at the problem.
If you have a wobble and loose steering, I would strongly recommend that you get the truck into an alignment shop as soon as possible. Have the front suspension inspected. Tell them what you are experiencing.
