Front end wobble

I have a 05 F250 with a fab tech lift runnin 37x13.5x18 tires. It has dual steering stabilizer kit on it. I just replaced the drag link an the tie rod end that goes from the steering box to the right side tire. It has a bad front end wobble under braking. You can look out the window an see the front tires wobble. All the other front end components look good. Just wondering if someone else has had this same problem an what they did to fix it. ?

Checked your wheel bearings? I'd also check the ball joints. Seems these trucks go thru wheels bearing about every 100,000 from what I'm told. Mine went 110K left side 118k right side. That lift doesn't help with added stress to those parts.

Check rotor run out. Warped rotors is a good possibility

Thanks cheezit. I didn't think warped rotors would make the front tires wobble this bad. But I guess its possible. I will check those too.
