Okay. Let's take a step back. If both tires are in the air the only movement, you should get is when the rack and other tires are moving as well. However, that is going to feel like drag and not a wiggle. It is going to be very hard to get this movement so if you are feeling a little movement then that is an issue.
Clearly, I am not looking at the vehicle so I will defer to you, but I don't think we can cross off tie rods yet.
As for the strut and motor mounts, those can cause vibrations but not as you are describing. The mounts will cause a vibration through the dash and front end most when idling and worse when in gear.
The struts will normally cause an issue only when you are hitting bumps.
So, if you are feeling this in the steering wheel then more than likely it is steering related.
Is it possible to get a video of you checking the front end and we can see what the movement looks like? Then is the steering wheel visibly shaking when this happens? If so, can you get a video of that as well?
