Wheel Wobble after Bushing and Ball Joint Replacement 120-130

+1 to getting the alignment done. That should always be done after replacing any joint in the front end.
Both of those tyres are seriously past their usage date and show signs of toe OUT wear. Dangerous when braking in the wet. Wobble might have been disguised while there was so much wear in the suspension.
Check the flexible joint in the steering column. Replace if showing any signs of twist movement or distortion.
Get your wheels balanced but best done after you've fitted new tyres. As said, fitting the rears on the front might help with the diagnosis unless they are in the same state as the fronts.
Pictures look OK but check all of the steering arms and joints along with the idler bush.
Did you tighten the A arm nuts and bolts with the full weight on the car suspension? I assume you replaced the upper inner bushes? Those are the first to wear and don't last long now days but are easy to replace with poly to good effect.
