rebalance the wheels and make sure one of the rims is not bent or warped.

Take it to another place and have it realigned, also.

Did they do a 4 wheel alignment? This type of alignment is very important and generally costs more $$.

It has to be done by a good front end shop that knows what they're doing!

The fact that the mechanic told you it's because of engine torque makes me feel that he's not too swift when troubleshooting this problem and possibly not a good mechanic to start with!
