When you say 'out of balance', I assume that you are observing some repeating, pulsation or oscillation in something, is this correct?

Do you observe this in the steering at the wheel?

Did you get the bushings installed with the little 'ear' aligned with the mark on the control arms?

It is also possible or probable that the toe-in may have changed as a consequence of the work, but I would not think that this would lead to a pulsation/oscillation phenomenon.

The ball joints at the bottom of the strut are another thing that needs to be in good working order. I assume that you checked the boots for any cracks/holes and also that the ball joint is stiff and not loose.
