Default 26 inch Wheels 2002 Tahoe LT

I've got a bad wobble on my 2002 Tahoe LT. I'm running on 305/30r/26 I've been told it's my idler arm and pitman arm. I changed the entire front suspension. All parts were Moog, except the idler arm and pitman arm(OEM). Do yall think that will stop the wobble. Rims and tires are good, because I took them off and put oem tires on. Wobbled less, but wobble is still there. So I guess I'm saying, iI'm gonna change idle arm and pitman arm(Moog). Anything else yall recommend to sturdy up the front end?

Any play in any tie rod, idler or pitman arm joint will make the front-end wobble.

I changed inner and outer tie rods, upper and lower control arms, sway bar links, etc. My belief is the oem idle and pitman arm "wore out" because of the weight of the 26 inch wheels. Your thoughts repairman54?

Throw away the rubber band tires and 26 inch wheels and replace with factory wheels and tires.
