If there is a problem with the tie rod ends or sway bar how bad is it to drive on it. The car is making a noise coming from those areas. Sounds like metal rubbing. Any thoughts

Its coming from the drivers side near the wheel well. I was thinking it was maybe my bushings. When I lift the wheel well up It also makes the same noise. I can sometimes fell something tap under my drivers side floor board when I hear the noise.

Sound like sway bar linkages, I just replaced them on my SHO, it was makin a creaking, clicking noise while hittinp bumps with decent compression of the struts, I am sure out Mustang would have close to the same setup. Ball joints will also make noise when they go bad, I have never heard a tie rod make noise, not saying it can't, just never heard it.
