Well move on to steering knuckle/lower control arm, torsion bar links and dare I say wheels.

Yes, wheel/tire, best way to rule out is have them road force balanced: locate a balancer https://www.hunter.com/wheel-balance...d-force-elite/

You don't have shocks equipped with Airmatic struts stretch to think these are causing tire 'wobbling'.

Check your lugs...I recently had my tire balanced/ rotation and they had the lug off just a but which was making a funny noise on passanger side front. I didnt even make it out of parking lot when i flag tech down and had them check and redo all the corners. All was gud since. Just my humble opinion
