ATTN Anybody else have slight wobble?

Hello everyone so i have a 2006 2500 4x4 quad cab long bed and about a week ago i started feeling a wobble when driving at 43mph to 75mph. I immediately thought it was a ball joint problem or u joint on the front axle so i replaced it all brand new spicer u joints (one of the stock ones was cracked) put in complete new steering linkage and ball joints from XRF did an alignment and balanced all my tires. so i drive down the road and here we go again its still there just slightly less now with all the new parts! the only way i can describe it is it feels like the front tires are oval when i drive at the above speeds the truck wobbles up and down like im running over mini speed bumps. It is not the death wobble. When it happens i let go of the throttle and it gets worse for 2 seconds then goes away. I dont know if this matters but i also feel and hear a knocking sound when driving slow coming from the steering wheel? THANKS FOR ANY HELP IN ADVANCE

Sway bar end links, or bushings, track bar bushings.

I'm with wildbill on this one about the track bar! I put all new tie rod ends, tie to pit ball joint, sway bar and end links, and ball joints. Two months later the driver side tie rod end and tie to pit went bad again, so I took it back in and they told me it was the track bar! I was super pissed that it wasn't taken care of when it was in the first time, but they did say that they would warranty to other parts and install them for free, but have to pay for the track bar and install on that. I know that a lot of places aren't selling just the bushings anymore and you have to buy the entire track bar due to safety concerns with them.
