Vibration under acceleration 60-70mph

So the car was parked for the winter and before it was parked it was fine. I used a different set of wheels for it to sit on as well over the winter season.
I did some upgrades, swift springs to my BC coils Nd a set of moog control arms with Red lion bushings oem axles were refreshed last year too.

Today was the first day out and I needed to go to a shop to get my 3inch exhaust on and naturally, an alignment...On the highway i punched it and noticed the vibration like wtf?

I set the coilovers to nearly the same height as last year I figure hey maybe too low and it's I'm getting vibrations. So after the exhaust shop I raised it like 3/8ths inch just like the height last year and same **** !

Anyways I figured let's get this alignment done so at least if I altered the alignment with just parts replacement I won't wear my tires. I get there and after 30 mins the guy said he can't complete the alignment cause my inner tie rods are done.
showed me the play on one side which was greater that the other side.

I bought a while inner and outer set I will replace as I think they are all original parts on the car anyways... the car wanders and mostly pulls to the right wondering if bad for rods and cause this vibration???

powee steering rack bushings and control arms cause alot of wander if the bushings are all worn. even if the inner amd outer tie rods are new, the steering rack can still have an inch of play left and right.

Check your suspension sytem on the right. Check the Front Right Caliper (passenger side) might be stuck.
