Default Chassis Rebound on Braking Stop

Had my control arms replaced last week under warranty.

Now notice that when braking to a stop, even at slow speeds, the chassis rebounds several oscillation before coming to rest.

Any ideas as to the cause?

can you describe it a little more?? I had mine done and the car feels fine. Is the car squatting or leaning?? I guess what confused me was oscillation. Is the car bouncing up and down? If so it is a bad strut/shock

The car bounces back and forth when coming to a hard stop - as opposed to slowing the car gradually with light braking.

When I brought the car in last week the tech agreed that the car acts 'bouncy' in this situation, but after driving a couple other 460s he concluded this is 'normal' operation due to the car's intended soft ride characteristics.
