Default My civic jerks me

1998 Civic EX stock, manual transmission.

In a non-masturbatory my civic jerks me while decelerating at low speeds and in low gear. No idle issues, misfires, brake issues. Is this common with 6th generation manual civics or something I need to look into? Years ago I had late 70's and early 80's toyotas and nissans with MT's and they did the same to an extent, but not as pronounced as my civic.

What's been cleaned and/or replaced since I purchased it a year ago:
1) Throttle body removed, cleaned, replaced
2) IAVC removed, cleaned, replaced
3) New fuel filter
4) Valve adjustment
5) New distributor cap, rotor, plugs and wires
6) MT oil changed
7) engine oil changed 3 times
8) Coolant burped, all grounds to chassis/engine inspected and cleaned.

Here's a few of my guesses/possibilities as the cause:
1)Throttle body wire or linkage issue that I can't see or lack of experience to know one may be present.
2) Front and rear lower control arm bushings are worn out and need replacement.

All replies welcomed and appreciated

I'll check those a bit later today. Seems like a possibility for sure.

Mine jerks me too much and I'm spent. Still haven't check the mounts as I got caught up mowing my foot tall Florida lawn after work yesterday. It's been raining here off and on for a week straight. Finally got a break in the weather and needed the workout, I mean yard work.
