Ricky Bobby will become famous soon enough
Tension strut/Thrust Arm bushings are shot.

You can replace the bushings with Meyle HD for about 35 apiece, or replace the whole arm for 110 apiece. If you can press the bushings in and out and have access to a press you can certainly reuse the arm.

I chose to replace the arm on mine when I did my recent suspension work, including replacing the ball joints for the thrust arm, and the wishbone control arms I did at the same time.

Your shop is correct in their diagnosis, shaking while braking.
