2019 F250 death wobble question

Crawl under the truck and watch the track bar while someone else steers the steering wheel back and forth real fast. If you see any play then you know it’s the track bar.
I’ve seen the ball joints go bad or the rubber bushings on the other end go bad. That bolt going through it needs to be torqued to 369ft lbs.

This is a problem with any truck with coils in the front.
Track bar ball joint fixed my 2015 at 35,000. I also added a dual steering stabilizer and never had any issue, sold the truck with 145,000.
Many say tires but I don’t buy it, it’s either worn front end parts, or castor out of adjustment.
My 2017 I went with a lift that dropped the back of the radius arm which helped castor a lot and have never had a single shake in 50,000 miles. I did add a dual stabilizer when I did the lift though

Yesterday getting on beltway 8 here in houston, when I hit 70 the truck shook so bad I thought the front end was gonna come off. I let off the gas and at 45mph it stopped. I was tripping out.
Is that the death wobble or something else?
Truck has 18” rims if that matters and everything is stock.

I had it happen to my 2018 F-250 at about 20K miles. Scared me to death and then pi$$ed me off. I took it in to he dealership and they fixed it under warranty. They have a service bulletin for the repair. The're a series of fixes they go through. If the first repairs don't work they go to the second set of repairs and so forth. Fortunately they fixed mine with the first set of repairs.
