Default vibration after front end work

1993 eg coupe with b16. Just today front upper control arms done oem, lower control arm bushings 4 of them all oem, new 94 integra drivers side cv shaft. Car seems to vibrate more when taking off. I had and alignment done month ago wheels balanced aswell. Is there something else causing this or should i have to get an alignment again after these parts being installed? Thanks guys

You should have an alignment done whenever your upper control arms come off. Go do the alignment first and then diagnose from there.

Update.
After finishing all the front end work, got the alignment done and also had the wheels balanced, killed 2 birds with one stone.
The vibration is still there but not as bad as before. Would front wheel bearings going bad cause this odd vibration? I recently did my rear bearings and i only noticed the wooop woop high pitch noise, no vibration.

Front wheel bearings can cause a vibration, but your alignment guy wouldn't have been able to perform the alignment properly with bad bearings because they'd move everytime the alignment was adjusted. Are you sure this vibration isn't in the tires?

All 4 2 month old michelin pilots 195/55r15 bought from a reputable shop. Could it be lower ball joints?
