i have a 95 LS400- the wheel shakes at 50+mph.

i checked all joints, the strutrod busings look worn. theres also play at 3 and 9 position when i have the wheel jacked up.

i put some pressure with a bar on the strut rod and has some play to it. what is the best option replacing the entire rod or pressing in new bushings?

I replaced the entire strut rod on my '98 because the price difference was not that great. I got the new rods with bushings for around $100 each and did not want to mess with pressing new bushings. Worn strut rod bushings usually cause a 'clunking' at lower speeds(like over parking lot speed bumps).

Your 'play' at 3 and 9 o'clock on the front wheels would be the most worrisome to me. Your steering linkage sounds like it is worn. I would get that taken care of ASAP, check front end components in general (replacing where necessary) and get a front-end alignment.
