Im sure it needs an alignment now, but that may not fix the death wobble. Check the trackbar mount at the axle. Have someone turn the wheel while you watch the trackbar. If it has play, the hole is wallowed out. That right there will cause death wobble for sure. There are lots of moving parts under there. Any one or a combination of can cause it. Also, is your rig lifted?
