ball joints and tie rod ends?
1989 mazda b2200 with original ball joints and tie rod ends? (90K miles)
i need info about them!
like how do i know if they need replaced or if i should replace them? how often do people change them 5, 10,...years?
is my rough ride because i need new tie rod ends and ball joints?
Ball joints and tie rods don't go bad from age, they go bad from high miles and/or lack of service. If you've been driving it for a atleast 10,000 miles with bad tierods or bad joints then uneven tire wear would of resulted by now. If theres no unusual wear, everything should be fine. I would recommend checking to see if the tie rods and ball joints have grease fittings in them. If they do, just have all the joints lubed about every 10,000 miles or so and they will last a very long time.

Tie Rod Ends for Smoother Steering
A vehicle’s steering wheel allows the driver to control the direction of a moving car. A number of auto components included in a vehicle’s steering system assist the steering wheel. These include the steering knuckle and the steering linkage. For these two components to properly assist the steering wheel, tie rod ends are installed in a vehicle.
Situated at both ends of the steering rack, the tie rod end connects the steering knuckle to the wheels. This setup enables the tie rod end to transmit force from the steering center link to the steering knuckle. This results in the steady and proper turning of the car’s front wheels as it ensures a coordinated movement between the steering components and the wheels.
This steering component is usually used in vehicles with the traditional suspension system. It works with the ball joint to make sure that the vehicle turns with stable movement even when running on bumps on the road. The tie rod end consists of an inner and an outer part. The outer tie rod end is used to connect with the adjusting sleeve so that the entire tie rod can be adjusted according to the needs of a vehicle’s suspension.
Because the tie rod end works for both the suspension and steering system of a vehicle, its importance cannot be disregarded. It ensures that there is smooth steering and full control over the wheels and steady movement of the vehicle. Maintenance of this auto part is therefore a must. Not much effort is needed as its maintenance requires only greasing the tie rod ends every 6,000 miles or twice a year. But tie rod ends may eventually give in to wear and tear after a long time. Apparently, the only solution is to get a replacement tie rod end from any auto parts store.
