Front End Issues

[Green92LX]

OK...this question pertains to my 89 Coupe

Since I've owned the car, it has had a wicked vibration over the 60MPH area when you hit the brakes...

I had a friend double check my thinking on the problem. I was just going to change a tie rod end that is $hitty and do the brakes, but he is telling me that is my lower control arm bushings...when you go over small potholes at low speeds (5-10),you can hear the front end makes a sound like a bad strut (you know what I mean), but the vibration when the brakes are applied does not occur until you are over 60-ish...

My question is if the fox bodies are known for control arm bushings going to poop, or if I should just do the brakes and the tie rod end and keep my fingers crossed...I am hoping that the "bad strut" noise is merely the play in the tie rod, as well as the vibration when the brakes are applied along with slightly warped rotors....

Opinions, suggestions.....thanks in advance
