I was under my car and noticed these were worn pretty bad on both sides would this cause wheel shakes? Im trying to figure out whats making my steering wheel shake.

Thanks in advance!

thats the boot to your ball joint, steering wheel shake can be caused by a number of things. Tires out of balance or cheap tires. TC rod bushings gone bad, bad ball joints, bad tie rod ends, worn out struts.

That's your balljoint. Chances are they're worn due to age and use.

You can get a new transverse link with new balljoints.

that particular balljoint is pretty much fucked on every single 240sx i have ever worked on. if you ever remove the spindle from the LCA front or rear, expect to replace them.
