Your Chevy ball joint is responsible for securely holding a very important part of your car onto the vehicle: your front wheel. The Chevy ball joint has a brother in the steering system known as the Chevy tie rod that serves an equally important function, holding the front wheel to the steering linkage. Needless to say, without the Chevy ball joint and Chevy tie rod, your car wouldn't handle or steer properly if at all! Regular chassis maintenance used to be the way to ensure long Chevy tie rod and Chevy ball joint life. Every six months or so you could grease the Chevy tie rod and the Chevy ball joint, providing a new supply of fresh grease for these components. In recent years, however, the Chevy ball joint and Chevy tie rod have been manufactured in maintenance-free 'sealed' versions. Thanks to improvements in lubricants, a sealed Chevy ball joint or Chevy tie rod actually lasts longer than its older sibling-though it helps that water and dirt is kept out of a sealed Chevy ball joint or Chevy tie rod too. Regardless, there will come a time when you have to replace both the Chevy ball joint and the Chevy tie rod on each side of your car or truck's front end. Usually abnormal tire wear, extreme looseness in the steering wheel, and metal-on-metal sounds from the front end will precede Chevy ball joint and Chevy tie rod failure, giving you plenty of time to order new parts before the old ones fail completely.
