Would be a cheaper experiment to see if it makes a difference.
Just a suggestion.

I had a Cruiser 1 from 2009 and am waiting for a 2019/2020 Cruiser 7D to show up. To the best of my knowledge they have the same geometry and with the longer wheelbase it should be as stable as a rock. Are you sure there is nothing bent any where? if the fork is bent even a little it will feel funny.

Maybe just let some air out of the front tire

May be adjust the headset. To loose or tight will cause this. Also make sure the headset is put together in the correct order. Roger
