Default Lower Control Arm Replacement (2006 JCW)

New 2006 JCW owner - just bought the car a month ago, it's been great so far!

I'm getting a pull to the right at slow speeds, and a pull to the left at higher speeds.
Also, between 100-120 km/h, I get vibration in the wheel when acceleration, and more when braking.
Note, there is no vibration when braking at slower speeds, and my discs/pads have < 5000 kms.

I took it to a mechanic, they did an alignment, however they said the issue is the lower control arm bushings.
Does this sound right?

If so, I found these aftermarket https://partsavatar.ca/2002-2008-min...h-ttx-cms10101, wondering if anybody has advice on them.

Thanks!
