Default Slight vibration at highway speed

I'm still getting some vibration in the steering wheel between about 65 and 80 mph even after a road force balance. Tech said rims balanced out good. I'm thinking it's suspension related but not sure. I'm trying to remember the infamous control arm bushing that was usually the first to go out on the LS430. Not sure if the SC has the same setup.

Front rotors and pads in good shape. Steering rack was recently replaced, including the tie rod ends and lower ball joints. She also has new tires and alignment. Any thoughts?

Are you using OEM or aftermarket wheels?

Make sure you torque the wheel correctly. If it's after market make sure you have hub centric ring.
The only other thing I can think of is the worn out bushing from the LCA#2.

OEM wheels. Honestly, I can't totally rule out it could still be a wheel balance issue but one would think if it was the tech would tell me.
