MAINTAINING YOUR VEHICLE 275 Steering Linkage Inspect tie rod ends whenever the vehicle is serviced. They are permanently lubricated and do not require periodic lubrication. Drive Shaft Universal Joints Your vehicle has four constant velocity universal joints. Periodic lubrication of these joints is not required. However, the joint boots should be inspected for external leakage or damage when other maintenance is performed. Chassis Lubrication Front Suspension Ball Joints There are two front suspension lower ball joints that are permanently lubricated. Inspect these ball joints whenever under-vehicle service is done. If leakage or damage is evident, replace the universal joint boot and grease immediately. Continued operation could result in failure of the universal joint due to water and dirt contamination of the grease. This would require complete replacement of the joint assembly. 7
