Which holes is he looking at? Is he actually looking at the control arms themselves are is he looking at the actual mounts on the axle?

No death wobble before changing out bolts and now you have death wobble? That doesnt make much sense. Are you sure everything is tight? There is no reason why the new hardware would promote death wobble.
