Wheel Wobble in Reverse

I have a 2005 Z4 with 85,000 miles on it. When I back the car up with the steering wheel locked to the left or right the whole car has a slight wobble. The car was due for an alignment and I brought it to the local shop, it helped improve the issue, but it is still there. I have replaced the control arms and bushing, sway bar end links and the entire tie rod. The shop checked my bushings (both front and back) and ensured everything was torqued correctly and said it looked good after they noticed the wobble still being there. I asked them about the struts and they said they looked good. The car also doesnt handle as well as it used to, the ride isn't as smooth and the handling isnt as crisp so I am skeptical that the struts are in good shape. Does anyone have any suggestions on what the issue may be? I am going to have the car up on a lift this weekend doing some other maintenance so I will have an opportunity to check other items as needed. Thanks in advanced!
