I have the same problem only on a RWD model. I found the the idler arm and the pitman arm both were sloppy. I am replacing the wheel bearings, idler arm, pitman arm, ball joints and shocks this weekend. Mine only does it once in a while, but when it does I have to slow to almost a stop, then speed back up and it is gone.

Just to update, I did all of the above work and the wooble is gone. My idler arm and pitman arm both had a lot of play, as did the ball joints. With all the changes and the heavier shocks, it was like driving a new truck. I drove almost 1200 miles last week no wobble or play at all. By the way, thanks to some seafoam I was able to get my best mpg ever 21 mpg on the trip to Grand Rapids and back.
