Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!
More than likely your problem is due to worn out steering parts including the wishbone ball, steering arm/pitman balls and tie rods. I know the stabilizer is a popular item but in my opinion, just a band aid fix.

The July/August 2015 MAFCA Restorer has a very good article, "Causes and Fixes for Death Wobble in the Model A Ford"
