Car is Veering

Ok, I'm getting a little frustrated w/ my '94 Maxima GXE. I just had the bushings, steering rack and pin and front tires replaced and aligned about a month ago. Now, when I'm driving, my car veers briefly from left to right. It feels like it happens when my car is dropping into the overdrive gear. It's like: when it shifts, i feel my car go left and then back. it's not like it's jumping off the road, but the subtle motion is unsettling. I brought it to my mechanic and he said not to worry about it but I don't totally trust him. It happens when I'm going between 30 and 45 Mph. But to be honest, I haven't really gotten it much faster lately. Any ideas? Thanks.

i'm having the same problem though I have a 5speed and it was diagnosed as the lower control arm bushing.

Ever notice how often the word Almost Fixed and Maxima are used in the same sentence.
