Steering Issue...

Steering Wheel jerks to the Right and shakes the car with it. it only happens while driving straight. When turning, there is no problem. I changed the lower ball joints today and it still did the same damn thing. It was an annoying job too. Anyways, any suggestions?

Go to an qualified alignment shop and have them look at it.
