Steering vibration when braking

[Somewhere in VA]

If you ignore brake/steering vibration for along time can it damage tie rod ends, upper control arm and other steering and suspension parts?

Over time? Sure. You are putting more wear on your joints than are typical for normal driving since those joints are being used a lot more.

Not that I’ve seen. It’s still something that should be addressed however. It can compromise braking distance not to mention a loss of control if it gets bad enough. More info here.
