Help identifying problem! Wheel's shakin
 
Ok, so i just got a new GS300, and the car all together is awesome. When i test drove the car i guess the excitement overwhelmed my judgment for i didn't realize this problem at that time, but now i do and its starting to get to me a little :(

Ok, so while cruising on the interstate...when i hit a bump, etc, the steering wheel shakes. It doesn't shake but just a tiny bit while driving straight fast. All speeds around 25, 35 etc everything is fine but when i hit a bump...i feel it lol I know it isn't bad tie rod ends because the wheel doesn't go all over the place when i slam on the brakes and steering response is fine, but what i am thinking is that its a blow strut or two upfront...if not all the way around. The car has 90K and i am sure its all original suspension. What are you guy's thoughts? Thanks for all the help, this forum is great!

A little pic that is the reason why i fell in love with GS's.

ball joints? I didn't read the whole thing, but I will.

Search ball joints and see if better describes what you are experiencing.

I think it definitely could be the suspension since it shakes a lot when you hit a bump. Also what I was thinking is that maybe your tires are not balanced correctly or has not been balanced in a while. I could be wrong.

dude, if you have like 19's or 20's on it its the tires/ rims, and it may not ever be completely fixed... good luck with this.
