I would take it back and have them tighten up what ever they forgot.

It sound like there is an adjustment bolt/nut that is not correctly tightened. Sooner rather then latter.

Or just drive slower on right corners

You can check the front end components with this simple check.

Jack the front end up and secure with stands.
Grab the tire at the 9 and 3 o'clock position. shake the tire by pushing and pulling in opposite direction. Listen for any clunking, sign of tie rod ends.
Do the same for the 12 and 6 o'clock positions, signs of bad ball joints.
Place the car back on the ground and carefully, with open palms, shake the car left to right at the fenders, sign of strut mount problem.

These are just shade tree techniques to get you started in the right direction.

Also thought I'd throw out to check the air pressure but I'm sure you've already done this.

i thought i knocked off a weight in a little dirt drifting escapade i had... turns out i built up enough dirt on my wheels to cause a huge vibration at speed... once the dirt was gone... vibration was gone too... i'm sure thats not the case for you though...
