QUICK UPDATE: Turned out to be a sticky front driver's side caliper, replaced it with a reman.'d from autozone and the issues are gone.

my vibration comes from my steering rack i believe. My bushing isnt where its supposed to be anymore so my passenger side wheel vibrates past 65mph. and it does not go away until i slow down under 65 again.

Same, and I hate it. Going to put new bushings in. I bought a set of Daizon bushings from a while ago and I can't find them in my garage

Make sure to get new stainless or rubber brake lines. Your oem ones are probably shot to hell

About your problem, jack the car up and start inspecting the front suspension if you have time.
I get that clunking too! I thought it was a loose caliper and have been chasing that issue forever. Is it the bushing or ball joints?

i replaced my lower control arms with some low mileage units that had prothanes pressed in, no more clunking and no more vibration. So it was probably a combination of the bad bushings and old worn out ball joints.

What is the cross-fitment like between the Supra and the 1992 SC300 in terms of brakes?
