Default Issue with Stearing after lug-stud replacement

I just had 3 front driver's side lug-studs replaced at an authorized dealer (who broke them in the first place). I notice driving home today that the car can't hold an even arc when in a gradual relitively high-speed turn. The steering seems to "flop" from side to side... it's inconsistent. Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.

nah, i know what that feels like... this feels like something's loose. I just wondered if the work I had done would have any connection to linkage, or steering in general.
