Again, I hoping the more experienced can give me a hand. My issue I think is pretty typical - 35 or 40mph, hit a small bump - steering begins oscillating and won't stop until I slow way down or stop.
Rather than have my wife suffer through helping me in the garage (with the CA wildfires, our air quality has gone from horrible to absolute garbage), I shot a few videos that you can find here:

With this one being the most "interesting":
The adjustable trac bar and tie rod / drag link assembly are all new. Trac bar drop bracket is older but seems to be OK (holes not egged out).
My front end (D30) does have some different knuckles on it, but has new bearings / dampners / shims etc.
No steering stabilizer installed yet. A week or two ago I did go through and make sure the wheel bearings were torqued corretly, FWIW.
The only thing that really jumps out at me is the movement of the tie rod, which I am assuming is because I need to fix the orientation of the attachment point at the drag link (have the zerk point towards bottom of radiator).
What do you guys think?
