Front suspension help

I have some front end issues that I cannot figure out. 12 ss 92k miles. Steering wheel shimmy on certain road surfaces. On grooved concrete roads I get light to heavy shimmy. On an asphalt highway none at all. Also I get steering wheel movement during light braking none in heavy braking. The rotors are new Baer sports & the pads are new. (Have not checked run out though) Struts are new Bilstien. Alignment was done after strut install. Wheel balance was recently done. Tires are relatively new. All bushings control arms etc appear to be good. No play when wheels are rocked side to side. Im wondering if the rack is bad. I have had this issue for quite some time now. Any help will be appreciated! Thank you

Have you had the issue for the same length of time as the relatively new tires?

Yes it has been happening well before the last set of tires.
