IrishGS300

Hi all.
I've got it in my head to do a suspension refresh so to speak .... well over 100k miles on the clock now so I'd imagine the '98 GS300 doesn't handle like it used to. Steering wobble is a problem at around 60mph and under braking. I'm hoping a new set of ball joints might sort that.
I'm thinking of replacing all the various suspension bushings for new ones. There are probably many of them though, I was hoping someone here might have an idea of how many there are and what they're all called ? Is there any comprehensive list available of all these bushings ? If the list had part numbers that'd be ideal.
Many thanks !

Be prepared for a hefty bill to do all of them. There are top and bottom wishbones on the front, along with the bottom balljoint, tire rod ends and trailing link arms. Pretty much the same for the rear end. Brand new Lexus items all round would without a doubt be knocking on the door of a couple of grand pretty much.
