all i am going to say is daizen bushings upper lower control arm and castor arm bushings
the castor arm bushings clear most of it up but if you do all of them its great i went through all of those fixs to come to this are bushings are crap and go out after 60-75 thousand miles only draw back this is not a diy not for most at least i have done everything on my car but getting those damn bushings out and the new castor arm one in are a pain in the butt. this is well worth paying for this one

I just found the cause of my steering wheel shaking when I drive over 70 mph. It happened during a 600 mile drive. A day before returning, I had the tires rotated and balanced, which did nothing to prevent the steering wheel vibration, which became progressively worse over the 600 mile drive back home. I found the cause to be stuck/frozen brake caliper pins on the front brakes. This caused the brake pads to stay pushed against the rotor with just enough force to heat up the rotor, which in turn warped the rotor, which generated the vibration in the steering wheel, and to the chassis. Small chucks of steel were missing from the front right brake rotor.
I cleaned and greased the caliper pins, and the problem is %95 gone (barely perceptible). Next step: new front rotors, bleed the calipers, and a install a pin rebuild kit.

I finally solved my soul-crushing steering wheel shake at highway speeds
After the problem re-occurred, I recently solved my soul-crushing steering wheel vibration at highway speeds, after doing a lot of work on my 2GS. Please read my 2 recent posts:

Solution: Steering Wheel Shaft Movement/Rattle
