Ive had a seroius steering wheel shake for about 5 months now and after taking it to a shop called lextech in silverlake CA, the professionals there said that I need new front strut rod bushings and rear carrier bushings and this will cure my steering wheel shake (after an alignment of course) because they were dry rotted and completely shot. Everything else on my car was in-spec including the balljoint. The cheapest ones I could find were on ebay but im a little skeptical about these parts in their quality and longevity. Here is a link the parts:

I just wanted to get some feedback on these parts and the amount of effort these would be to replace my self..
BTW The car has 185k miles and is lowered on the cheap megan coilovers and 18x9.5 wheels

if you look at the faq and the bible (www.lexls.com) you will find the tutorials you need.

if you are a reasonably competent mechanic these should pose no significant challenge but otherwise (especially for the carrier arm bushings) you may be better off with a pro.

Just a heads up though, neither link you found are OEM parts, for the rear carrier arms that's fine (the ones you linked are armstrong and known good parts plus lexus doesnt offer those bushings separately) but the strut rod bushings are generic/unbranded.

Thanks for the links, tutorials will help.
If I were to replace these parts will this help reduce my steering wheel shack?
