Ford contour braking or suspension problem. Both of my front wheels turn inward when braking at speeds above 20 mph. I have stuck my head out the window before I apply the brake and once I do apply the brakes I can literally see the front of the tire/wheel turn inward. This also happens on the passenger side as well. It turns inward when braking.
Here is what I have done on both sides and it still happens:
New CV Joints
New lower control arm. complete with ball joint
New sway bar link
New inner and outer tie rods
Professionally aligned.

If it happened on only one side I would suspect brakes. But since it happens on both wheels I'm at a loss.

Thank you,
