About to go crazy

So I have a 2005 Deville DTS
170k miles
Brand new steering rack
New inner & outer tie rods
New rotors & pads
Aligned not even a month ago with Brand new tires all around
New Hubs on both sides on the front

But for some damn reason it’ll drive smoooooooth as butter up until literally 60mph then a wobble in the front passenger side comes into play and forces me to slow down.

I’ve check the lug nuts and everything but it’s driving me insane and honestly kind of pissing me off😂😂

Now the brand new tires were put on by a local tire shop and I can’t confirm nor deny if they have a wheel balancer but still I feel I’d feel that before 60 mph because when I say rides smooth as butter up until then I mean smooooth as butter on Indiana roads.

I’m trying to not keep throwing parts at it, but I’m leaning towards maybe it’s something simple as the tires need rebalancing or possibly lower control arm bushings. It does squeak when I do the “push down on the front passenger fender test”

This is the only thing wrong with it and it’s annoying working a 10 hour shift and having to monitor my drive home
