If you're in Mount Ulla 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, about 20 minutes out, and we do this job in driveways and parking lots around the NC-801 corridor every week.

Why Mount Ulla drivers book mobile control arms & ball joints

Mount Ulla is farmland between Statesville and Salisbury with plenty of long driveways and equipment sheds. Good place for a mobile mechanic to earn their keep. We've done plenty of control arms & ball joints jobs in this part of Rowan 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
