Tie rod ends are wear items and you haven't mentioned inspecting them. A little play in those puppies (either inner or outer) gives you wobbles.
My opinion: The inserts do afford some stiffening but not much. I experienced negligible objectionable vibration.

I will try another mechanic. The more I read the less convinced I am that it is the bushings lol.
I will try lift the car and look for play in the track rod ends, though you are probably right on the money with the other control arm.

Everytime I drive I find myself swearing at every bump on the road
