You go over a bump and something clunks in the front end. Or the wheel sits off center while the car tracks straight, and the front tires are worn down on one edge. We come to your driveway or your work lot, get the wheel off the ground and check every joint by hand, so you know which part is loose before anything gets ordered. Same-day service when we have the part on the van.
Call (706) 388-3787Loose steering usually comes down to a short list of parts, and they wear out in a rough order. Tie rod ends and sway bar links go first and they are cheap. Ball joints and control arm bushings come next, and a bad ball joint is the one you do not put off, because it can drop a wheel. Struts and shocks rarely quit outright, they just stop controlling the body, so the front end floats and the tires start cupping on the edges. We check all of it at your address with the wheel off the ground, so you know which part is worn before you pay for a thing. A good share of this work sits across the Chattahoochee River in Phenix City, under four miles out but in another state, on another area code, and in Russell County, which is legally on Central Time while everyone living there runs on Eastern. So we book the hour in Columbus time and the van shows up then.

Most of the time it is a sway bar link or a worn strut mount, and those are cheap parts. A clunk with play you can feel when you rock the wheel by hand is a ball joint or a tie rod end, which is a different level of urgent. We can tell those apart in your driveway before you spend anything.
Yes. We fit loaded strut assemblies, so the spring stays compressed in the new part and nothing has to come apart under tension. We need flat ground to park on and about two hours per axle.
No, we do not carry an alignment rack, so you take it in for the alignment after we replace the worn parts. That order matters, because aligning a car with a loose tie rod end just moves the problem. We will tell you plainly whether the job needs one.
Yes. Phenix City is under four miles across the river and we work it the same as anywhere in Columbus. The clock over there is legally Central and the whole area runs on Eastern, so we confirm the hour in Columbus time when we book you.
We provide steering & suspension covering Columbus, Phenix City, Fort Moore, Smiths Station and Midland.
