Default Sloppy Suspension

Hi all..
2008 GS350 - 148,000 Mi..
I've been noticing as of late, my GS350 suspension seems "loose"/"sloppy" over lenghty rough roads. Not so much noisy or rattles, just loose and shakes.
I haven't replaced the struts as yet, I know that could be a part of the loose suspension issue.
Any other ideas? Where would be a logical place or places to start tightening up this suspension? Are there common suspension issues within the GS350's in this year/milage?
I obviously am not not looking to spend thousands on suspension parts and can do most of the repalcement suspension parts myself.

Thanks to all..

Regards

Time to change struts and the strut mounts (go oem for the mouynts) for starters

Check wheel balance and alignment.

Sway bar end links.

Upper control arm bushings and ball joint.

Lower ball joints, lower control arm bushings.

Outer tie rod ends, sway bar bushings. Inner tie rods.

Then there is alot of bushings in the back as well
