Either that or your taking it to the cut rate shops that only hire fresh out of high school kids like Auto Zone. Time to take it to a general repair shop and take the tech for a ride and once the wobble starts say that's what I want fixed.

Agreed.

Also, the tie-rod ends, idler arm, pitman arm, steering box, wheel bearings, motor mounts, trans mount, & U-joints should all be re-checked to ensure they were not previously over-looked & that everything is tightened to spec.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
