Wobbly steering?

Hey guys -

I've finally fixed my vibration issue (turns out the wheel balancing was done incorrectly) but I'm still experiencing some wobbly steering - especially when the car is first warming up in the morning. The front end does not feel planted, and it feels like I can wobble the wheel a good bit in either direction before the car "bites." I've had multiple alignments as I replaced suspension parts - struts, LCAs, track arms, wheel bearings, strut mounts, front drop links, front sway bushings are all new - and it's still there.

The shop that did the my wheel balancing correctly put my tire pressure pretty high (40 psi) because they guy said you have to match the tire pressure to how stiff your shocks are. Does this sound right? Also, the alignment shop dialed in the toe-out all the way to max within spec. Could any of these be the culprit? Or is there something else I'm overlooking?

Thanks!

Car is 2002 S with 87k miles.
