If it is a wobble when hitting road dips/bumps as speed it is likely related to the "death wobble" so many talk about. Me really it runs back to bad front suspension parts such as ball joints, tie rod ends, bad or missing steering stabilizer, or bad shocks. Some elements of it turn up in slop in the steering gear that can be tightened up too. Great You Tube vids all of this stuff.

99-04 doesn't suffer from "death wobble"
OP did you check the needle bearings on the inside of the unit bearings to see if they are dry?
