The forward force and the side forces are equal and a slight force from another direction will easily push the steering around. The kingpin Dana 60 (common to all GM axles and early Ford and Dodge axles) uses a tapered plastic bushing and preload spring to locate the top of the steering knuckle.

What finally fixed our death wobble after two years?
A set of Bilstein 5100 Series shocks fixed our death wobble problem. After two years and several thousand dollars of front end suspension repairs, nothing helped the death wobble on our F250 until we tried these. It continued after all the repairs covered below until an off road shop suggested these shocks.
