Why Elkin drivers book mobile control arms & ball joints

Elkin is right across the river from Jonesville and the gateway to the Yadkin Valley. We cover both towns on the same trip. We've done plenty of control arms & ball joints jobs in this part of Surry County, and the process is the same everywhere: confirm the problem, quote it, fix it, and clean up.

What's included

Ball joints and control arm bushings are what connect your wheels to the car. When they wear you get clunks, wander, and uneven tire wear — and a ball joint that separates can drop the wheel. We check for play with the wheel loaded and unloaded, replace the arm or joint, and torque everything with the suspension at ride height.

  1. Inspect for play in ball joints and bushings
  2. Replace the control arm assembly or press in new joints
  3. Check tie rods and sway bar links at the same time
  4. Torque bushings at ride height
  5. Recommend alignment
