Pulsating brakes on 91 240. Need ideas/advice. 200 1991

FWIW, I had my inner tie-rods replaced on my 240 about a year ago. I didn't have pulsating brakes, but rather my wheels were getting a little loose when you shake them. I bought the inner tie-rods online from alloemvolvoparts.com. TRW brand ones were about $28 each. I had my mechanic replace them as I didn't know what to expect, but as I watched him replace them, it looked rather easy. My Volvo mechanic charged me an hour of labor. Factor in an additional $50 for an alignment.

Miracleman, if you plan to do one, you might as well save yourself $50 ahead of time and replace the other while you are at it. It's also a good time to check out your ball joints, etc.

Do the wheel test first and see if there is play.
