Heavymental Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 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?

landar Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 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.
