Most original are sealed - most replacements have a grease fitting
I assume you mean 'Tie rod ends' , - obviously cost depends on vehicle. More expensive and bigger vehicles have more expensive parts. Tie rod ends for a 2004 Windstar are about $45 each.
you most likely have worn tie rod ends or inner tie rod bushings that need replacing.
Most modern vehicles have none or very few. The bearings are sealed for life. Look on the ball joints, tie rod ends, and the drive shaft U-Joints. It may or may not have any.
It kind of depends on what vehicle you're talking about. On no vehicle (that I know of) will you be able to see the actual bearing unless you take apart the wheel hub, but on some vehicles you will be able to see the wheel bearing assembly whether you're changing tie rod ends or otherwise.
I want to answer the following question. How can one repair ball joints, tie rod ends and king pins on wheeled vehicles? Please email me on robfiler@renewit.co.za
The 2002 Olds Bravada typically has grease fittings located on the front suspension components, such as the lower ball joints and tie rod ends. These fittings are used to lubricate the joints to ensure smooth operation and prevent wear. Check the vehicle's service manual for specific locations and maintenance recommendations, as some vehicles may have fewer or no grease fittings based on design.
Whatever type of motor oil you put in the engine, will lubricate the rod bearings along with all the other bearings and moving parts.
Grease fittings are located at upper and lower ball joints, outer tie rod ends, inner tie rod ends, pitman arm and both ends of idler arm.

None. There should be no play. If there is the tie rod end is worn.
