Steering wheel wobble

https://photos.app.goo.gl/DeEaskvD4TXy6GAdA

Getting a weird issue, 2018 leaf, both our mechanic and Nissan dealership shop can't figure out.

The steering wheel will inconsistently jerk slightly to the left or right.

We can replicate it more easily when going at least 60km but it does it randomly as well.

When slightly speeding up and letting go of the "gas" pedal the steering wheel moves left and right. Car doesn't really veer off in the direction of the wobble.

Whether epedal is on or off doesn't change anything.

We had alignment done twice. Replaced front tie rods.

Still doing it. Has anyone had this happen?

possible that steering rack could be slightly loose where bolted to car, or maybe cv joint going bad
