Slight steering shimmy and pull to the right

My steering wheel shimmys slightly under acceleration or at cruising speed and the whole car pulls to the right (very slightly). It makes no noise, just vibrates. Feels like the right front wheel

I've changed upper ball joints (camber kit), tie rod ends, new rims and tires (balanced), axles, shocks, bump stops, had an alignment

The right tie rod end seems to have a slight bit of play, but it doesn't even have 1K miles on it. Suggestions?

Rebalance your wheels and tires. If it still shakes your axles are bad.

maybe a wheel-weight fell off that's what I'd be hoping for.

I'm not sure it'd be an axle. In my experience they only vibrate under acceleration when they go bad.

guess I will have to replace axles again. Alignment is good and wheels and tires are balanced
