it still needs new tires and I'm pretty sure the passenger side front suspension needs work it vibrates really bad over 65 mph
change your tires, get and alignment. Radius rod arm bushing could be bad.

I have about $4,000 into repairs and what not into my car since I've got it.

all that you mentioned is routine maintenance, typical of older cars. if you get another car, it will do the same thing in a few years. after all that is taken care of, you can bet the LS will go for another 100k miles. the car is super reliable, with the right maintenance!

I have only done an oil change, and wiper blades on my 94 since i purchased it 11/2012.

(Actually i havent done the oil change yet, i bought oil and a filter a few days ago) i have a huge pile of parts ive been collecting though. One day soon its going to be refreshed.
