The ball joint and the tie rod are two of the most significant components of your car suspension and steering system. There are other parts of the steering suspension system and that include the axle, the struts, strut mount CV joint and many others. These two components usually work together. The tie rod basically ties up the steering rack and the steering knuckle where the wheel is usually attached. Some vehicles have actually two tie rods, the inner and outer tie rod. Both of these two are attached to the vehicle's side to have at least two pivot points. Now, since they work a lot, they need to be properly maintained and lubrication of the tie rod is imperative. Tie rods are subjected to damages, when they fail, expect to have a loose and slack steering. The ball joint on the other hand is situated between the A-arm and the steering knuckle. Gripping the steering knuckle tightly in place especially when the vehicle turns side to side or the wheels have bounces up and down.
