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
