Steering shaking

I'd be checking for worn front end parts. I've seen it a 100 times (not alot of supras). Lower control arm bushings wear out before uppers, and will give the problem you describe. Ball joints.

Some play in the bushings is normal, as they are rubber. But that is also why the eventually wear out.

I am about to replace mine with Toyota factory ones (I still have to call dealer). The poly ones are expensive, and stiffen your ride up, so you'll feel more vibrations from the road.
