I have a 2007 ES that has 163k miles now, the front right tire started growling and i took it to get an alignment and they told me that my inner and outer tie rods were shot and that they were able to just wiggle them around. my front right strut is bad, so is the front right wheel bearing, and the front right brake is bent. is there any kind of reason that all these things would be going wrong at once, and all in one area?

Have you owned the car for long? I’ve heard of warped discs but never completely bent brakes, if you mean actually bent. I’d ques an accident caused the damage because unless it’s been off-roading I doubt that even a crater sized pothole would cause such severe damage.

I’ve owned the car since october. It had 146k when I bought it so i’ve driven it a lot but i feel like all these things shouldn’t be going wrong at once.

Alright so if they just started that probably rules out an accident. With allot of car parts especially suspension parts you ignore something and before you know it that part fails putting extra stress on another part that’s just as old and worn and before you know it this happens. With suspension parts allot of times it’s better to swap multiple parts as once even if it’s still ok but not great because it will end up crapping out and messing up your new part as well. I think your brake discs is probably warped not bent due to excess heat. Could be due to slamming brakes suddenly, overusing brakes to the point where they overheat, not exchanging pads until there almost shot which messes up the discs.
