It could be the kingpins but I'd expect the axle oil seals to leak but if you've not used 4wd they may not. Panhard rod bushes make a big difference. How are they?

They seem to be ok but will be changing these as soon as i find some as i've put 2.5 lift on and need some Ajustable ones.
The wobble is worst at 30 through to about 45
