Default JKU Oversteer

My 2013 JKUR 2.5 Tereflex on 33’s just had the ball joints replaced, alignment and now a bad over steer (that’s what I’m calling it at speed and with in normal steering slop is fine but as soon as you start to turn more the Jeep seems to over steer and it gets a squirrelly. This was a great driving Jeep with albeit awful OEM ball joints that where so bad!! But now it’s almost scary to drive.. any help is appreciated!!

It's common for new BJs to be very tight and have a breakin period 500-1k miles. Give it a little time before you get too concerned about this.

Would raise jeep and check hub and bearings... if it feels like a bobblehead when driving. Wavy road is worse than a pothole when this is the issue.
