    I have never experienced this just because a car is lowered (in fact, I 
felt it tracked better and more accurately once lowered).  If you bushings 
were pounded in, there is a good chance that your a-arms are bent, which 
could cause you tracking problems.  IME, a wobble always starts to develop 
when the alignment is causing uneven wear, which is probably another one of 
your problems...
