Wheel shaking is caused by a balance problem, either a tire needs to be balanced, a wheel is bent or there is a problem with an axle.
HOWEVER!
Most vehicles can tolerate a tire/wheel that is a LITTLE out of balance provided that everything is functioning properly.
Among the list of things that must be functioning properly are the ball joints. Worn ball joints make the front end loose and the vehicle does not handle properly. If you suspect worn ball joints, replace them.

Why does the car shake after replacing the ball joint?
Have the vehicle checkout, a ball joint should not make the car shake ( There are other components that would of been removed to change the ball joint. There is obviously something lose or installed incorrectly. Check the torque of the wheel nuts as a lose wheel may be the culprit. There is a possibility of steering or suspension failure, DO NOT drive the vehicle until it is repaired.
