Control Arms & Ball Joints
in Salisbury, NC

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

~35 min from StatesvilleNo waiting roomQuote before work

If you're in Salisbury 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, roughly 35 minutes from our base, and we do this job in driveways and parking lots around Downtown Salisbury every week.

Why Salisbury drivers book mobile control arms & ball joints

Salisbury is the Rowan County seat and the eastern anchor of our service area. Historic downtown, tight driveways, and a lot of older cars that deserve someone who'll actually diagnose them. 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
