More than likely your front end is a dana 44. All you have to do is look in the differntial webbing. If you are looking at the diff cover, it should have a number stamped on the lower right hand web. If its not there, look around the housing its there. It will read 44, or 44F.

As far as the wobble, on those types of front ends, dana 44, there is a plasic alignment nipple in the top pivot point, they break and wear out easy. And I believe there is a lower ball joint, but don't make me lie. But your problem is in the knuckle where the axle connects to the turning assembly. Don't be afraid to take it apart, there's not that much to it.
