Tie rods went in the front. Brake pads had to be replaced. Then driving on the highway during rush hour traffic I lost the brakes. Pulled over and called to have the car towed in. Mechanic said the master cylinder needed replacement but because ABS brakes, a new cylinder cannot be found. Dodge stopped making them because they were faulty.
