Death wobble is a Dodge Ram issue ;)

In all seriousness, does it happen at all speeds or high speeds? Has anyone put the front end in the air and wiggled the tires and checked for loose/broken parts? Generically thinking, these ideas come to mind (and are usually easy to check):
- Broken sway bar end links
- Broken sway bar
- Worn out sway bar bushings
Going deeper:
- Worn brake rotors (I had some that caused a horrible shimmy while braking on a different car).
- Bent rim
- Tie rods
- May need to diagnose components on the other side.
