Default Shakey Front End

I Have A 92sc400 When I Hit A Bump The Front End Dances And The Wheel Shakes In My Hand. Does This Mean I Have To Replace The Struts?

Also look into the steering rack bushings and front lower control arms if the struts/alignment does not solve your problem.

If the front LCA is bad, it just need new rubber set right?

Yea the bushings go bad. You can either have oem or urethane ones pressed in, but the balljoints will still be original. The balljoints can't be replaced by themselves. The more expensive option is to get oem lexus (~$800) or 93-96supra (~$400) front lcas with new bushings and balljoints. The difference is that the supra bushings are made of a stiffer rubber so ride quality may not be as soft as the lexus units.
