Maintenance of steering tie rods and ball joints

2024-05-20

  1. The steering tie rods may suffer damage on rough roads or under high temperatures and eventually break. During the normal operation phase of the vehicle, the owner should carry out regular maintenance checks and pay close attention to whether the performance indicators of the steering tie rod assembly and joint assembly are within the normal design and use requirements. Try to avoid no abnormal impact or collision except the external force generated in the operation of the vehicle itself.
  2. With the increase of use time, the grease of the steering ball head will gradually dry up, making its lubrication ability decrease, which also requires us to clean and lubricate the steering ball head. For the steering ball head, the inner ball head can be cleaned and lubricated, but the outer ball head can not be disassembled, cleaned and lubricated due to the disposable dust cover, so avoid spraying cleaner on the outer ball head.
  3. When parking, if the steering wheel does not return to the right position, the wheel will drag the steering rod to be unable to return to the right position, and at the same time, the gears of the steering wheel and the rack of the steering rod are also in a state of stress, which will cause these parts to accelerate the aging or deformation over time. In order to improve the service life of the steering rod, car enthusiasts remember to return the steering wheel to the correct position after parking.
