I was told that death wobble can be from bad ball joints. Haven't experienced it yet, so I am not sure.

Are your wheels missing any weights on them?

Could be unbalanced wheels, bad balljoints even something as random as bad motor mounts (ask me how I know )

Check your wheel alignment as well as your ball joints and track bar... These are the most common causes of death wobble...
