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.
