^^^^^^^^^^^^^
I have seen bicycles with one loaded pannier, certainly out of balance
more than yours could be, being ridden without difficulty. I have
ridden with an unbalanced load lashed to the rack, and all that
happens is that I shift my body weight and the angle of the frame to
compensate. I don't think your problem is caused by unbalanced
weight. Since you say that drive-train components were replaced, my
first thought is that the rear wheel was not fully engaged in the
dropouts when it was reinstalled. Certainly, if the rear wheel is set
at an angle, this would cause the bike to handle "funny."
