Why Winston-Salem drivers book mobile control arms & ball joints

Winston-Salem is the far east end of our hour on I-40. We take jobs on the west and south sides of the city and quote drive time up front. We've done plenty of control arms & ball joints jobs in this part of Forsyth 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

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
