2013 Death Wobble

looking for some guidance on a 2013 F250 four-wheel-drive with a 67 I’m having the front upper and lower ball joints replaced and when he’s tearing everything apart is there anything else that I should get replaced to take care of this wobbling or death wobble issue it’s a southern truck with 200,000 miles zero rust I’m just wondering if anyone has any suggestions on other things I should replace while we’re doing the work thank you

The track bar bushing is usually the main culprit, so have it replaced while the other work is being done.

Shocks especially if they are over 30K. What caused mine on my 04.

Check out tire balance as well. My 96 had a DW and it was tire balance in front.
