Default Vibration in the steering

Hey guys i want to share some information about my lexus as i had some vibration in my stering wheel at speed between 80km to 100km
Ever since this problem arised i started going to several service agents which couldnt figure out wht was actually the problem some advised me it was fue to the upper&lowerr arm
Some said the links ,other said the arm bush
And this continued even after changing all those
After a long time i have taken the choice of going to the main agent and suplier of the luxes in bahrain
Where they adviced me to change the following parts which are highlighted in the image attached
This is just to share an experience

Did replacing those parts fix the vibration? I recall some other folks replaced their engine and tranny mounts to fix the vibration too.

Have you balanced your tires? Lol... If you change the natural frequency of your tires, you could shift the harmonic resonance to a different frequency and smooth out the ride at 80kph. That's not to say that it still won't vibrate at a different frequency such as when you're going faster or slower. One of your rims could be bent as well. Check these before changing suspension components

I had the same issue here. Got tires from discount tire and had vibration. Took it back up there twice to get rebalanced and the issue was still there. I ended up taking it to a toyota dealer and the issue was gone. It's been a while but I can't remember if the issue was the balancing machine from discount tire is not as good as toyota/Lexus
