How odd; did you mention the shaking to the alignment shop, before and/or after?

The control arm is the lateral arm that bolts to the subframe and is 90Deg to the line of the car. Some are steel and some are aluminum. Aluminum models have a link that attaches the sway bar that is the same top and bottom; steel arms use a different link. But the dimensions and bushings are the same AFAIK. I seem to recall that someone had a problem with those bushings, or where they bolt to the subframe... I think the bolt holes in the subframe had elongated and allowed for some slop.
The diagonal arm that has the two conical bushings, the ones I think you replaced, is sometimes called a control arm, in an effort to confuse things I think.
It sounds like something happened somehow, that has changed things; I cannot see how putting in new parts would give this bad a result. Was it at all like this before?
I do think having the alignment shop take a close look at everything is in order.
