What causes tie rods, cv joints, axles, ball joints to wear out?
Same thing that makes your shoes, ankles, knees, and hips wear out, — friction (even with lubrication)- these parts move constantly, and very rapidly at times,- wear just finally gets them, — of course good lubrication, and sufficient sized parts help slow down the process!f Now if you “Jack the frame up” and put on those humongous tires (so you need a ladder to get in), — this accelerates the probelm — so badly that some people carry extra set of driveshafts to change on road as they travel!!
