Depending on their equipment, they may have done a static balance. I recommend finding a shop with a RoadForce balancer for anything over 31"
The fact that the wobble changed suggests that it is related to your tires. Either they aren't truly balanced, or at least one of them is worn in a way that introduces instability. Could also be a broken belt within one of the tires
You can rotate the tires again yourself and see if the behavior changes a second time

I used duct tape instead of wire. Masking tape would be better as it tears off the bolt easier.

i spent like 2 hours trying that. Pretty sure the Po broke self tappers in there. I’m just gonna drill then and call it a day. I thought only the left rear shock was self tapped but nope the right side had a tapper in it and he attempted to weld the shock in place
