I would bet its still in the tires. What kind of balance did they do to it?

wieghts on both sides of the wheel, or just one one?

Just pounding wieghts on a tire ato zero out the balance isnt always enough. Did they check for radial run out?

My F-250 eats a set of ball joints about once a year. When mine are bad I get a clunk in the front end and when I am in a parking lot and have to wheel at full lock in either direction, you can feel the front tire (best way I can describe it) folding in. This is in a 2wd truck though. Jack up the front end and get a large pry bar. See if you can get any play in the wheel by prying on it. A bad ball joint will move.

They arnt hard to replace but are a PITA because of everything that needs to come off.

tire discounters would have todl you if you had a bad balljoint I am sure.

Take it back tell them it still shakes and tell them to them to match mount the tires.
