Wobble in steering

I replaced the lateral ball joint for the second time once free by the dealer because of a recall and the second time because it was making a loud grinding noise. 97 Eagle Talon ESI and now at 70+ miles per hour I get a small amount of steering wheel wobble. Should I have it aligned or is the stabalizer rubber bushings loose. How can I tell? Has anyone else had a similiar problem.
Bearings are fine no play.
Thanks for your help.

Re: Wobble in steering

That would be my suggestion also. It's also possible you have a slightly dented rim. Might want to have the rim rotated to the back and see if it still wobbles in the front.
