SoCalDesertRider,
In the vehicle OEM engineering world, you quickly learn how a solid front axle action from a "road bump" on one end transmits the forces to the wheel on the other end. Please consult engineering manuals as there's usually several chapters dealing with it. The death wobble referred to occurs on BOTH Fords and Dodges with the solid front axle and has for well over a decade. Perhaps it would be better if you researched or knew the facts about a subject you reply on. Front suspension design and steering symmetry are critical to handling and all component's tolerable functioning lifecycle.
Aggressive driving, any excessive braking, and fast cornering etc certainly does wear out components and tires prematurely and also wastes considerable amounts of fuel. Using of 4X4 on dry or partially dry surfaces also wears tires fast especially when not going in a straight line. These past actions is a big unknown part of the risk in buying a used vehicle and add in the actual lack of or lacking in true scheduled maintenance done.
