Decades of driving wear out the parts that keep a classic going straight. When bushings crack and joints loosen, the car wanders, clunks and wears tires unevenly.
We put the car on the lift, check every joint and bushing, and show you what’s worn. You decide what gets done.
What’s included
- Ball joint, tie rod, idler arm and pitman arm inspection
- Control arm bushing inspection
- Shock and spring check
- Steering box and linkage check
- Replacement of worn parts with quality components
- Road test before you get your keys
Signs it’s time to come in
- Steering feels loose or has play
- Car wanders or follows the road
- Clunking over bumps
- Uneven tire wear
- Shimmy at speed
Daily drivers and classics
Newer vehicles get the same careful inspection. For struts, control arms and steering on a daily driver, see Suspension & Steering.
We work on foreign and domestic vehicles, most makes and models, including Chevy, Ford, Dodge, Chrysler, Toyota, Nissan and Subaru, plus American classics like Mustangs, Trans Ams and vintage trucks.
No guesswork. No surprises.
