When ever I take I right or left turn over 10km/h my car shimmies from side to side. What could be the cause of this? Is it a worn ball joint? Bushings? which bushings would need to be replaced?

any help would be greatly appreciated

ok, I think its my struts, cuz my stock bushings don't seem to be oozing. The ball joint seems like it needs a lil grease though.

thanks for the help
