The Steering Wobble is back
I have a 94 f250 that i did a dana 60 solid front axle swap with a 6" lift ... After I lifted it i got steering wobble or "death wobble" real bad when slowing down (Standard tranny) going fast and hitting bumps, so i went ahead and put dual steering stabalizer shocks in it and it cured the wobbles for a few months ... The other day i was leaving the barn and going down the road about 55mph and was going around a bend and it started wobbling again, Im thinking WTF! and then after stopping to stop the wobbling i hit a bump and it did it again ... Clearly i have some front end issues from running it without stabalizer shocks for so long before ... My truck is badly unaligned it veers to the right so maybe i need an alignment ? Bad u joints on the axle shaft ? Unbalanced tires? (Mine are unbalanced) Broken belt in tires ? Bad wheel bearings ? ... Any advice and help is greatly appreciated .. THANK YOU!

Are you driving with the hubs locked? If they're unlocked, then shafts aren't spinning. So if you're getting wobbling even with the hubs unlocked, then no, u-joints are not the problem.
Tires out of balance are the #1 cause of shaking while driving. Why are your tires unbalanced? Get them balanced!
You'll find out if you have a broken belt when you get your tires balanced...
Wheel bearings typically make funny noises when they go bad. Did you check the wheel bearings? Did you check the ball joints for play? Tie rods? You didn't say if these things are in good shape or not.
