steering shake, light pull

My steering wheel (sentra 2002 spec V) shakes back and fwd on some streets, not too much but enough to feel and see if the steering wheel has no hands on it. The car also pulls lightly to the left on some roads, and on some it pulls to the right, so I am not too worried about it cause on most it goes straight, I figure its just the street, although left pulling is more common. I recently had a few parts changed, left control arm, strut assembly and the power steering rack. I got an aligmnet and a balance, both of which are supossedly perfect now. What else could be causing the steering shaking?

Loose lower shock struct nut(s), or loose control arm nut(s). especailly it pulls left n right!

It happened to me once AFTER i got an alignment done. The 'specialist' forgot to tighten the nuts!! check it yourself or find another mechanic to check it.

Although worn hub bearing can do the same thing but I doubt a 2002 model can have a worn bearing so soon!!

that could make sense since I just had a couple of those parts replaced, and maybe they just didnt tighten them enough.

I will see if hte mechanic is free at lunch time to check it, if not I will check it at home at night.

yeah im hoping that wouldnt be it, but who knows! I know one of my wheel bearings was damaged a few months back but that was replaced!!!

Thanks for the advice, I will sure have it checked.
