Rattling while Braking.Is this a tie rod issue?88 crx si

Hello, I have a 88 crx si. Basically I have bad tie rod ends so there is a very small amount of play in the steering. However when I brake it causes the whole front end of the car to kind of rattle and vibrate, it doesnt do that when im going slow.Im not sure if this could be because of warped rotors or Bad tie rod ends or both. If anyone can help that would be great.

doesnt sound like bad tie rod ends to me. does it happen when ur turning or accelerating?

vibration could be warped rotorts. did u check ur steering rack, inner tie rods, rack end bushing, etc.?
