I could also be classic death wobble due to worn front suspension pieces (track bar, inner/outer drag links ends, inner/outer tie rod ends, ball joints, front lower control arms, incorrect oem bolt sizes).

My 2009's parts were worn at < 25000 miles (enough that slight turns right at highway speed + pothole/ road irregularity bump began a shimmy, which if not speed checked led to death wobble).

Or maybe, I'll have to disable the ESP to see if that is triggering my DW. Something else to try i guess.
