Default New tires and LBJ's now steering wheel shake

Hey guys just got a set of new tires put on, they said lower ball joints were bad so I replaced them myself. After the alignment I have a slight steering wheel shake at 60mph and above. Took it back they re checked alignment and said it was good. He thinks its the new ball joints. Would the new LBJ's cause this? I used moogs and everything seemed to go well , what do u guys think?/

How much weight is on the rim? Look inside and outside of the wheel. My vote is a bad balance or you got a tire that's out of round.

I hope that's what it is, find out tomorrow, not sure how much weight is on each wheel. Each wheel has a weight on the inside and outside.
