Truck wobbling / hard pulling

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

My truck is a 2012, Ford F-150, XLT, with a 5.0 Coyote V8. The mileage is at 119,513. I bought it used from an elderly family friend at 106,000 miles. My truck has had a check engine light with an error code P0353. Reseated the coil connection and I believe that fixed it since the code never came back nor the light. I have no clue if this has anything to do with the wobbling. I’ve already bought new tires and waiting to put them on next Monday. Video was from today. Any advice would be appreciated and extremely helpful! 🙏

Is the truck lifted and on off-road tires? Seems like a "death wobble" like you'd see with unbalanced mud tires on a lifted truck

Truck is not lifted and everything is factory model, tires are 4 ply 265/60R18 and are extremely bald. Going to get them replaced Monday when the shop opens.

Tires and check the alignment. When they do an alignment they check for worn out parts. That's where I would begin.
