Red face Lower control arm or strut assembly

I have been having issues with vibration over pot holes. I have replaced the upper control arm, lower and upper ball joints. I noticed some give to the rubberbushing on the lower control arm and also susspect that the struts/coils may be causing the issue. I was also told that the bolt which ties in the lower control arm midway to strut assembly may actually be somewhat worn. An older car and lots of parts to buy seems less than desireable if only I could pinpoint the souce easily. Amy suggestions appreciated

check for play in sway bar bushings and links also; extremely common and easiest fixes before those CA bushings.
