Steering wheel feels loose

So i have a Acura TL 2005 that’s manual and I have a problem with my steering. It feels loose and it twitches if that’s the best way to explain it. It sometimes clunks when I shift into gears. It has a new motor, motor mounts, axles, steering rack with inner tie rods and new tires. Just got a alignment and it still feels loose. Ball joints are fine, outer tie rods are fine what could be the issue?

Lower control arm bushings, and check the trans mounts and engine torque damper that manuals have. The LCA's are the biggest cause of a loose/wandering steering feel or random vibrations.
