The root problem is not the mud or the tire. It is the suspension/steering's inability to control that motion that starts the actual death wobble. I can drive with an egg in my tire with nothing but a vibration, but add in worn suspension/steering components and bad angles, and that becomes a problem

It's not just a vibration. It'll shake the steering wheel out of your hands and the pucker factor goes to 11 the first time it happens

I watched a YouTube vid of an F250 with death wobble, scary.

Bent wheels and tires way out of balance can cause the suspension deterioration and cause the initial start of the DW when driving.

OP, as stated by others, the bad parts can be several different areas on your front suspension, even the bolts/bolt holes. You really have to look at every component.
