Front end problem

i notice when i have the truck in 4wd that i can't go very fast because the steering is really wobbly. i can't keep it straight. also my friend said that when i was spinning out that my front driverside tire was wobbling pretty bad. he said it wasn't a slow wobble but it was fast like i was steering back and forth really fast. he didn't happen to see the passenger side but what do u think it could be? thanks for your help

Front end problem

I have noticed a lot of my buddies's trucks do that. It seems like it happens when they turn a little bit. I dont know if my truck does it but I think it is your cv joints having some resistance when you turn and when your in loose terrain They make your tires move back and forth. Another thing that may cause it is maybe one of your tires is too low or high with air pressure. Maybe its your tie rod adjustment. That is a good question does anyone else know?
