Troutman drivers book shocks & struts with Wrench Rescue because it's finished where the car sits. Coming up I-77 Exit 42 to Troutman is a normal run for us, and Iredell County is squarely inside our hour.
Why Troutman drivers book mobile shocks & struts
Troutman has grown fast along US-21 and I-77, and a lot of newer subdivisions have HOA rules about vehicles that don't run. We fix them in place so they don't have to be towed. 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
Worn shocks and struts don't just make the ride bouncy — they add stopping distance and wear your tires unevenly. If the car nose-dives under braking, keeps bouncing after a bump, or you see oil on the strut body, it's time. We replace them in pairs with quick-strut assemblies where available, which means no spring compressor risk and a fresh mount and bearing.
- Bounce test and inspect for leaks, bushings, and mount wear
- Replace shocks or complete strut assemblies in pairs
- Inspect sway bar links and control arm bushings while there
- Torque to spec with the suspension loaded
- Recommend an alignment after strut replacement
Signs it's time
- Bouncing after bumps
- Nose-dive when braking
- Clunking over rough roads
- Oil leaking on the shock or strut
- Cupped or scalloped tire wear
- More than 80,000 miles on the originals
