Steering Wheel Jerks once whenever I touch the brakes. 700 1990

I just had mvp's strut tower braces and front bushings installed on my 745. Now whenever I touch the brakes (even lightly), my steering wheel jerks about 1" or so. The funny thing is, it's not classic brake pull. When I apply the brakes with my hands off the wheel, it jerks, for a split second, straightens back out, and the car keeps going down the road straight.. It almost seems like one brake is applying a split second before the other or something.

Maybe the guys @ MVP knocked it out of alignment when they were installing the bushings/tower braces? Any ideas? MVP is 6 hours drive from here, so I'd rather figure the problem out myself instead of taking it back to them.

Thanks!
