what exactly did you change with your steering? If one of the tires are angled in a bit to much, im sure its possible that it cab cause death wobble.

not to sure on the 2 different wheels. one thing you could do is swap the two back tires with the fronts and see if it still does it (im guessing you changed the 2 fronts?)

haha yea, i know what you mean. I got deathwobble about a month ago RIGHT before a wheeling trip. I ended up replacing or upgrading all tie rod ends, steering stabilizer, control arms, and track bar in hope to make my trip.
usually deathwobble is caused by the track bar. have him move the steering wheel around while you are underneath the car checking everything. Look on axle side of the trackbar and see if it moves, may have wallowed out the hole, if the bushing went, that is replaceable.
this post is very helpful and has a list of everything it COULD be and correct torque specs.

of course if hes bugging you, you could replace the steering stabilizer and hope it masks it enough lol
EDIT::and have him get a alignment for the hell of it after you check it all. Im sure it could use one.
