Help!! selling car need to fix 1st

There has been a wobble that I cannot seem to find.
When the right side of my car is taking a left slow curve and I hit a bump (highway speed) the car wobbles out of control until I brake or hit the gas.
I have changed the 2 links up front, right shock, bushing for the rear links and still it wobbles.
I feel it to be in the rear but not sure was also thinking it was the lower rear control arm bushing right side but I just don’t want to be chasing this and throwing money at it like I have been anymore.
One more thing the tie rods are ok but the car shakes sometimes not always at 55 like a tie rod problem sometimes on the highway when beering left on a slow left turn it shakes. I have experience as a Mechanic 9 years ago so I have some skills but this problem has really got me.

if you have a wobble in the front I would look at the wheel bearings, ball joints etc if its in the rear then I would look at the bushings in the trailing arms, if bad the vehicle will be sloppy, there are 2 upper links (rt & lt) & 2 lower links (rt & lt) so thats 8 bushings, then there is the panhard bushings, 2 of them. if you dont have a book, stop by your local stealership and have the parts dept print you a pic...

The links for the front have been changed. The one that attach to the strut tower and the saw bar both side are new and it still wobbles.
One more this when I purposely make the car wobble by turn the steering wheel left and right nothing happens. It only happens when I hit a bump on a slow left turn...then it starts to wobble and get worse to the point that I have to hit the gas to straighten the car or hit the brake.

How about the sway bar bushings?? my 87 pathy started wobbling in turns and on straights during windy days, turns out the bushings for the sway bar have worked there way out of place...
