This is based on research through Lexus techs, follow the below list in that ORDER:
1) Alignment (very important)
2) Road Force Balance (very important)
3) Wheel Hub Adapters (very important)
4) Replace Ball Joints (recommended)
5) Replace Tie Rods (recommended)
6) Replace engine mounts and transmission mounts (recommended)
7) Replace Caster Bushings (recommended)
8) Replace Wheel Bearings (last precautionary step)
If you follow the above list in that order, I GUARANTEE if you follow that list in ORDER, at some point the shaking will stop.

Also are the "Wheel Hub Adapters" the metal spacers for the hub on the wheels (all four) correct?
Kind of like this?

The front end shake is the caster arm bushings in the front, Change it to Daizen Front Caster Arm Bushings. Also change the Steering rack bushings to Daizen as well. My car is a 98 and i don't have any shaking problems at all now. I also changed my front lower ball joints. Very easy to replace.

To date I replaced the front Upper Control Arms, Lower Control Arms No.2, Lower Ball Joints, Balanced all four tires & got my alignment done.
With that said the shakes are 50% better, but are still there
Anyone know the next step

Hi All,
Just wanted to post an update....
So I installed four of the Hub Centric rings on my rims & had all four tires balanced and I am absolutely amazed by the results.
My vibration problem is almost fixed, I would say it's about 90% gone!!!! Still a little vibe, but barely noticeable
Thank you all for the help, it means a lot
