96 ls400 whole front vibrates
So when my car hits 60 mph the whole front shakes like the wheels wants to fall out . The upper control arm was bad , I changed it an its still vibratein . Thought the wheel needed balanceing , nope that's not it . Any ideas to what else wud cause it?

Switch the wheels around and see if the vibration changes. Then you can be sure it isn't that specific wheel/s as the cause. A road forced balanced tire is a good start and tracing though the front suspension for obviously worn bushings next.
How many miles on your car? As they age, many of those bushings will be showing signs of wear. That may be the UCA's LCA's, engine and tranny mounts and the infamous strut bar bushings. If there are any imbalances caused by tires or hubs, this may present itself in this manner.

When my '97 (approx 157,xxx) developed a glaringly apparent shaking at around 70 mph, the culprit turned out to be a rear tire with a slipped belt. Just put the winter tires back on, and it's smooth sailing.
