Shook me sh*tless

Ok. I recently started to rebuild the front end of my truck. First the steering box went out and the short end of the center/drag link was damaged during removal so that was replaced as well. (This was around August). In November I replaced the long end of the center/drag link(can't remember the brand), track bar(Moog), steering stabilizer shock(Monroe). Truck incurred a slight death wobble after completion when trying to stop. Took the truck in for alignment and was informed that the Rancho stabilizer shock I originally installed wasn't a wise choice. The wobble got worse after alignment, so I switched the shock to the Monroe. All seemed well afterwards, but the truck gradually developed the wobble again and its gotten progressively worse. It only occurs when I am trying to stop the truck and I have temporarily parked the truck because it is that bad.
I am writing a list now and am curious if you guys have any recommendations. So far I have tie-rods, front shocks, stabilizer bar links, and stabilizer bar bushings. Front brakes are new and the bearings are good. Keep in mind that I am keeping close watch on my budget.
Also, had a guy get underneath and he noticed a very slight bind in the track bar at the frame. I took the old one to the auto parts and verified that everything matched up. The bolt can't be tightened anymore either. Would this have anything to do with the wobble?
Sorry to piggy back this thread but I thought it might have useful info for the OP. Thanks!

If you're unhappy about it characterizing the normally expected maintenance process of replacing worn out parts, then just drive it until it comes apart and get a new one. Hope you don't kill yourself and/or someone else in the process.
Otherwise, buck up and get the damn thing fixed. Chances are it needs alot of work. If you can't do it yourself get it into a shop and get it fixed. Pretty simple, really.
