Shakes and wobbles

Shakes or Wobbles problem
1994 BMW 318 4 cyl Two Wheel Drive Automatic 150000 miles

please help, my car has had new rotors put on the front and new brakes on front and back new tires also, but it rides fine until you hit a bump in the road then it shakes violently until you snap the wheel a little or push the brake and slow down. Could this be an alignment problem?

Lower control arm bushings are usually the culprit in this scenario, check this site: http://www.realoem.com/bmw/showparts.do?model=CA63&mospid=47490&btnr=31_0242&hg=31&fg=05
