Kloster: Replacing ball joints is not part of routine maintenance. However, they should be checked according to the manufacturer scheduled maintenance or mileage intervals, or at every oil and filter service. Most ball joints on later vehicles are sealed and do not require any grease. There are still some that should be greased every time the oil and filter is changed.
Perry: Ball joints come from the factory with two different designs. Some are serviceable, meaning they can be greased and lubricated periodically, while others on most newer vehicles are sealed, and the grease from the factory is meant to last the life of the joint. Ball joint replacement is usually performed when the joint becomes loose. In some instances, they start making noise, usually creaking, from lack of lubrication.
