No. A loose tie rod will cause the car to wander or the steering wheel will feel loose. I did break one once on my Olds with no warning. It was a year old MOOG part on the freeway and it just snapped. Its not a fun ride but still have some control with one wheel working.
A brake squeel though can be caused by glazed pads, pads that are vibrating in the caliper, or pads that are totally worn out. Sometimes someone is just used to the car and doesn’t notice all the problems someone fresh would.
