Thanks for comment! I will replace the push rod (the thick one) and the control arm (the thin one). As I know it will be very difficult to remove the ball joint that connects to the push rod, so I think I will leave it to see if the vibration solved after replacing the control arm (the thin one), if not then I will try to replace the ball joint and the push rod.
