Front End Issue

I bought a 2003 XKR last August with very few things that needed work (so far) and am feeling blessed by my luck finding such a great car. After replacing an upper control arm with attached ball joint from DRC Auto Parts, and new front shocks and springs last fall (stored for 6 mos., I live in upstate NY), I experienced a problem with my front end with the car pulling to one side then back to the other. My mechanics checked out the usual culprits, but everything seemed tight. I'm doing an alignment next week. It's less fun to drive while wrestling with the steering wheel keeping it straight. Any thoughts? Thank you in advance.

After driving around and getting a 4 wheel alignment, I agree with your assessment of tramlining. Unfortunately, the patch of road I leave my house from is particularly uneven (I live in upstate NY) and it's like an amusement park ride each time. I have noticed it is pretty much the same each time and when I get on better roads it is a much smoother ride. I bought tires last summer, but the ones on the car were still in good shape. I don't know how old they are. I'm going to put the new one on before I store it. Thank you for your help.
