96 Cam LE new front struts-wheels pulling hard, both directions

I just had a shop install new front struts on a 96 Camry LE (2.2, 5SFE) and the wheels are pulling to both the left and right. (Mevotech mounts, Monroe strut assemblies.) When I drove away from the shop, there was slight noise from the right front wheel when I made a hard left turn.
I bought the car used and the old struts were way overdue to be replaced (car at 89,400 mi), but, there was no alignment problem or pulling before the change (I didn't have to keep a strong grip on the steering wheel).
Is there a break-in/settling period for new struts, or if the new parts & the shop's installation work was all good, should the new parts have immediately improved driving handling?
