The rebuild continues...89 4Runner 3.0 V6

So I got the shock issues figured out from my last post...but need some advice on a new development.

I rebuilt part of the front end suspension/steering a couple months ago. Put in all new bearings on both sides, replaced driver side spindle knuckle, and new PFC brake pads on both sides.

This last week I put in a new pitman arm (old one's bushing was shot) as well as both outer tie rod ends as the bushings were blown out on those also. Everything is tight, but I've noticed a distinct wobble and tug left to right in the steering. I haven't had an alignment done yet, but I'm curious what might cause this cuz it was noticeable to some degree before I replaced pitman/tie rods.

I tore the whole front end apart yesterday and repacked all the bearings and checked everything and put it back together but can't find an obvious culprit. The only thing that seemed out of place was a loose dust cover screw that had lodged in the back of the passenger side rotor. Took it out and rebuilt but still having tug and wobble. It is mostly noticeable on straight shots of highway and after the truck has warmed up and reached 40mph+

Warped rotors? Bad bearing seating? Other steering components? I need to get this truck nominally functional ASAP! Thanks.
