Wheel shimmy upon Acceleration 3g TL 6MT

So this has been an issue ever since I bought my car back in January. In almost any gear, most noticeable in 2nd, 3rd, 4th, under mild-heavy acceleration my wheel and car will shake. I know this is a symptom of bad axles, halfshaft bearing, and/or other front end parts. So I have replaced both axles, upper/lower ball joints, compliance bushings, and recently just had clutch and halfshaft bearing done along with a few other things.. What else could be causing this? I am lowered on truhart coilovers

Yep the steering wheel will have a slight shake back and forth that can be very annoying at times, also can feel it in the car simultaneously. Motor mounts were all replaced with polyurethane mounts by previous owner. Car has 180k but is in mint condition physically and mechanically.

It could, but I have been thru two different sets of wheels, multiple balances, and probably had 4 alignments since I got the car in January. And I had it aligned right after the clutch job about a week ago. Symptom has always been there.
