Default Bushes Or Complete Arm ?????

I have a volvo v70 D5 260,000 miles.
When braking at speed i get a wobble/vibration through the steering wheel.
i have had new pads and discs and a wheel balanceand it still happens.

Question.
Could it be the lower arm bushes.
If so is it best to change the complete arm or just the bushes.
Also because of the mileage does anyone recommend changing any ball joints or anti-roll bar drop links while it is dismantled.

The steering doesn't seem to be as tight as it should be and can be very vague over uneven road surfaces.

Thank you all.

I would have the front end inspected. I usually change the arm due to the bushings being such a pain to replace.
