death wobble?

Could bad ball joints cause the death wobble? Also I am replacing my ball joints right now because they are bad, but would I be able to drive a little bit on them or is that a fix now thing? Thanks guys

I had a a really bad wobble i thought it was my front end also . (Balljoints,hubs,sway bars,etc.) But i found out it was my rear u joint on my driveshaft. If it has any slack in it at all it will cause the truck to wobble and shake at about 40+mph. Also your counterweights might have broke off your drive shaft or your drive shaft might be bent. Just check around there you might find it?.?.
