It seems that when I hit bumps at 45 and over, I get the dreaded death wobble symptoms of solid axle trucks. The wheel physically turns left and right at a one or two inch movement back and forth. If I'm turning a slight left or right bend it always does this as well.
The truck is silky smooth at highway speed when on smooth pavement going straight, I believe the issue is related to steering/alignment rather than balancing. I've checked for play by lifting the front end and shaking the wheel left right and up down, everything feels tight and correct.
I've searched only to find advice of steering stabilizers, I feel this is an issue of worn parts or alignment and would like some help in the right direction.
Thank you!

There is also binding at full turn at slow speeds, like pulling into a parking space.
