Clunking over bumps and wandering steering from worn ball joints and control arm bushings, fixed on site.

~50 min from StatesvilleNo waiting roomQuote before work

If you're in Lexington and your car needs control arms & ball joints, you don't have to get it to a shop. We're a mobile mechanic based in Statesville, on the outer ring of our service area, about 50 minutes away, and we do this job in driveways and parking lots around the Davidson County courthouse square every week.

Why Lexington drivers book mobile control arms & ball joints

Lexington is barbecue country on I-85, east of Salisbury. It's at the edge of our hour, and we still make the run. That's exactly the situation mobile steering & suspension work solves: the mechanic comes to the vehicle, so a car that shouldn't be driven doesn't have to be.

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

Signs it's time

  • Clunking or popping over bumps or when turning
  • Steering feels loose or wanders
  • Uneven inner-edge tire wear
  • Squeaking from the front end
  • Visible play when the wheel is rocked

FAQ

Control Arms & Ball Joints in Lexington: questions

Can a bad ball joint cause a wheel to fall off?
A completely failed ball joint can separate and collapse the suspension. If you hear popping and feel looseness, don't wait.
Do you charge extra to come to Lexington?
Lexington is on the outer edge of our hour, so there's a small travel fee that we confirm before booking. It's still far less than a tow.
Can you do control arms & ball joints in an apartment or office lot in Lexington?
Yes, as long as the property allows vehicle work — most do. We work cleanly, contain fluids, and leave the space the way we found it.
