Make sure the 3 14mm (might be 12's) nuts that bolt the passenger side axle to the motor are tight.
Make sure all your suspension bolts are tight.
Motor mounts mihgt be getting weak.
Did you get an alignment?

Balance your tires. Yah I know doing what you did doesn't change the balance but still perhaps your tires have just now worn enough to require it.
