Ironically, as I was on the way to the parts store for brake parts for my wife's minivan I started to feel/hear a grinding when braking. It did this on even gentle braking. If I did the slightest braking I could still just barely feel and/or hear it. I assumed just wear parts so I picked up pads...

I was told my inner tie-rod would need replacement soon and said I would notice as it was getting worse. I think that time has come. I notice the steeering seems to not track well for just a second when hard breaking or accelerating. I am wondering if anyone has had this done in a shop and...
