When it comes to the suspension on your vehicle, the ball joints are important components that connect the wheel hub to the control arms. The ball joints provide pivoting movement between the wheel hubs and control arms. This will allow you to control your vehicle and have a smooth ride. The lifespan of the ball joints will depend on your driving habits, road conditions, and exposures to road debris.

We will inspect all suspension components along with the fluids, tires, and filters on the vehicle.
