Most people call it thrust arm vs tension strut. My point is that wasn't the part that was the problem it was the rear/inward vs the forward/front component that failed/replaced to fix the problem.

I've had tension strut bushing so bad the wheel would move close to 3/4" whem hitting the brakes but still no shake from braking at speed. Speed shake from loose suspension always has been the rear/inward control arm in my experience.
