Vibration after replacing a ball joint on one side can be caused by several factors, including improper installation or misalignment of the suspension components. If the ball joint is not torqued to the manufacturer's specifications, it can lead to play in the suspension, resulting in vibration. Additionally, if the other components in the suspension or steering system, such as tie rods or wheel bearings, are worn or damaged, they can contribute to the issue. Lastly, an unbalanced wheel or tire on the side where the ball joint was replaced may also cause vibrations.
