If you're in Hiddenite 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 25 minutes from our base, and we do this job in driveways and parking lots around Emerald Hollow Mine area every week.
Why Hiddenite drivers book mobile control arms & ball joints
Hiddenite is gem-mine country west on US-64. Plenty of gravel and no shop for miles, so we come to you. 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.
- Inspect for play in ball joints and bushings
- Replace the control arm assembly or press in new joints
- Check tie rods and sway bar links at the same time
- Torque bushings at ride height
- Recommend alignment
Signs it's time
