Bushing problem or something more serious??

I have '93 civic.....I attempted to put on some coilovers yesterday and realized after I got the drivers-side front all apart that the allen wrench fitting at the top of strut was stripped......So, I put everything back together......but now, I have a bad shaking/shimmy on that wheel, so bad that the cars not even really driveable when before everything was fine. The tires are new, and the struts still seem good enough..nothing moved around the area that was stripped at all...could this much trouble come from a worn out bushing that I disrupted?? Everything else seems to be tight and back together like its supposed to be.

1. make sure everything is reassembled and torqued correctly.
2. wiggle the tire back and forth and up and down for excessive movement.
3. check outer tie rod and ball joints.
4. is axle fully seated in front rotor?
