Default SHot bushings?

Hi guys, on my gs , going over the littlest bump or just switching lanes and hitting the lane dividers make my car wander and i can feel my steering wheel shake and move a lot. Could this be a result of bad lower control arm bushings? my steering wheel shakes at any speeds, but just a lot more at highway speeds. Also both of my caster is off, lower than what is in spec from toyota.

Could be all the above plus ball joints and tie rods. Do a search on how to check these. If you can't a shop would do it for a nominal charge. How many miles on the car?
