at your mechanic, especially since what he told you, perhaps in not so many words, is a very plausible explanation. You do need an alignment now after replacing a BJ, and again after any subsequent BJ replacements. It's why I often just do them all on my own cars. They are cheap comapared to the alignment if you DIY. Also, if your old one was badly worn, your tire hasn't been meeting the road properly for some time, especially if it was aligned with slightly worn components. Since many shops just "set the toe and let it go", essentially just compensating for the wear, your toe-in could be grossly out after BJ replacement. I had this happen once-the car was squirrely and the tires made a lot of noise when turning. They wore out in 4000 mi. If yours were worn abnormally, they could indeed made a lot of noise and vibration now.
