Steering issues after lower control arm replacement

Hey everyone -

So I recently installed new Meyle control arms on the front of my 02S. I accidentally snapped the ball joint bolt on one of them and had to press it out... not fun. Anyway - I eventually got a new one on there and all bolted up. I replaced them to solve an annoying vibration issue, which is now gone! However, now the car pulls to the left at highway speeds and when I hit any sort of rough patch in a road, the steering wheel veers off in either direction.

Is this:
A - An alignment issue? I just did the fronts because I was under the impression that it would not require an alignment.
B - Something I messed up when I took the wheel carrier/knuckle off to press out the broken bolt?
C- Something else all together?

Car has 86k on the clock - new struts, tie rods (in/out), track arms, sway bar bushing, sway drop links, strut mounts all installed in past 500 miles.
