I have spent countless dollars on trying to find this one problem my steering wheel shimmy and as I go over bumps or uneven pavement the car pulls to the right ball joints tie rods engine mounts trans mounts sway bar links rotors brakes calipers and on a hot day on the interstate I feel a lot of the road going up a hill is when it feels like the right wheel wants to move excessively

I think this is more than one issue. The vibration is probably your tire/wheel balance. The steering pull pull might be alignment or inner/outer tie rod end.

Try rotating the wheels, see if anything changes.

Never hurts to update the struts. The originals are usually shot after 100k miles, and they really weren't that good brand new. While you're in there replace the strut mounts/bearings, too.
