Default Passenger Wheel Shaking 5SPD

Quick info
JDM B16a Swap into ej6 1998 P28 ECU Chipped with basemap of a b16a

I noticed this happening about a week ago and i inspected it about a few days ago and the wheel as no play new axles everything looks stiff,
and when i let my friend drive the car i checked the wheel and it was vibrating and vibrates/shakes a lot going up hill, What can cause this? Uneven coils, bad wheel alignment, bad tires?

I noticed it gets worse when my car is normal temp but when driving the first few mins its ok not as bad

Wheel bearing could be a culprit too.
tie rod, bad caliper piston (brakes biting), loose stud and/or locks, control arms, steering knuckle.

Only up hill this happens? Or only when under load? Does this happen at all speeds and gears, or only at certain speeds?

The H22 swap I have in my Civic has that nasty axle bind issue. The wheel shakes between 30-45 mph, but that is only because my axle is too long.

mine is doing the same, id does it when it's at 2-3.5k, my suspect is my driver side tie rod, matter of fact I'm about to do some research on replacing it, I noticed it by lifting the car and rocking the wheel by hand, I can feel the click coming from there. good luck OP.

Usually shakes only at first gear but other gears car fine but you kinda feel the shake into 2-3 gear and it just shakes more first gear up hill at a dead stop

same as mine my man. The play on my rod end is very minimal but I can see how it would vibrate under the strains of some torque being applied.

Try going on a rotary or taking any left turn sharply at a decent speed. Just put some load on your passenger side. Do you get a hollow sound? Likely culprit is wheel bearing.
