If you're in Wilkesboro and your car needs tie rod replacement, 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 45 minutes away, and we do this job in driveways and parking lots around Downtown Wilkesboro every week.
Why Wilkesboro drivers book mobile tie rod replacement
Wilkesboro is the Wilkes County seat, up NC-16 through Taylorsville or NC-115 from Statesville. It's the northwest corner of our hour. 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
Tie rods connect the steering rack to the wheels. When the ends wear you get a loose, vague steering feel, a clunk when you turn the wheel at low speed, and tires that feather across the tread. We replace inner and outer tie rods and set the toe as close as possible, then send you for a proper alignment.
- Check for play at each tie rod end
- Replace the outer and/or inner tie rod
- Match the original length to keep toe close
- Torque and install a new cotter pin or lock nut
- Recommend alignment
Signs it's time
- Steering wheel feels loose or has play
- Clunk when turning at low speed
- Feathered or saw-tooth tire wear
- Vibration in the steering wheel
- Failed inspection for steering play
