If you're in Elkin 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, roughly 33 minutes from our base, and we do this job in driveways and parking lots around the Yadkin Valley wine trail every week.
Why Elkin drivers book mobile tie rod replacement
Elkin is right across the river from Jonesville and the gateway to the Yadkin Valley. We cover both towns on the same trip. For tie rod replacement, that means no tow, no ride-share to a shop, and no day off work — we do the job on site and you get your keys back the same visit.
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
