Why Newton drivers book mobile control arms & ball joints

Newton is the Catawba County seat. Between courthouse workers, factory shifts, and the US-321 commuters, a lot of people here don't have time to sit in a waiting room. For control arms & ball joints, that means no tow, no ride-share to a shop, and no day off work — we do the job on site and you get your keys back the same visit.

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
