Front Vibration - How much more do I have to replace

So I had highway vibration (which I could live with). I repacked the CV joints and noticed that the right hand side had slight pitting but not real bad and I replaced the CV Boots.

Then I had shimmy under braking and clunking over bumps so I replaced both front and lower control arms on both sides and all associated ball joints.

Now all of the shimmy has gone except for at 50 mph +/- 3mph around a left hand bend I get bad vibration and steering shimmy. Only around left bends not around right bends.

Could it be that the harmonic of the CV shimmy has changed due to the tightening of the suspension and now I'm feeling it more pronounced at a lower speed. Can a slightly worn CV joint cause large vibrations considering it doesn't click at all in slow tight turns?

or

Do I need to replace the Tie Rods and see if the tyres need balancing? (It's been like this since I bought it and had new tyres installed and wheels balanced then
