Default Taking over the wheel

Sup guyz, I'm getting my parents gs300 lexus soon 1998 model. I needa tune this ***** out. The car has been in an accident once, a pretty bad one not that bad i can't really say cuz i wasn't there at the time. But all i can say is that when i hit 60 on the high way, the wheel shakes like hell. I think the car needs alignment or some****. The car has over 103K miles around there. Other than that its a beautiful Lexus pearl white with a totally hooked up sound system (10k worth customized). If anyone has any ideas what i should put on this badboy leave some comments. I'm planning on putting some mods like intake, exhaust, etc. For the body kit ima just leave that alone and keep it real simple.


TranceKid,

At 103K, those ball joints and tie rods need to be looked at then go for the alignment. Welcome to CL and congrats on the GS, the car has a lot of potential if your pockets are deep enough.
