Front End Work Services in Atascadero
Front end problems affect your vehicle's handling, tire life, and safety. If your steering feels off or you hear unusual noises from the front of your vehicle, have it inspected before minor wear becomes a major repair.
Comprehensive Front End Inspection
Before recommending any repairs, we perform a thorough inspection of your entire front end system. We check ball joints, tie rod ends, control arms, bushings, wheel bearings, and steering components to identify worn or damaged parts affecting your handling and tire wear.
Control Arm and Bushing Replacement
Worn control arm bushings cause clunking over bumps, wandering steering, and poor alignment. We replace control arms and bushings to eliminate noise, restore proper suspension geometry, and extend tire life.
Ball Joint Replacement
Worn ball joints cause clunking noises, loose steering, and uneven tire wear. We replace upper and lower ball joints with quality OEM or aftermarket components to restore tight, predictable handling and eliminate dangerous play in your suspension.
Wheel Bearing Replacement
A failing wheel bearing causes humming or growling noises that change with speed. We replace worn wheel bearings and hub assemblies to restore quiet operation and ensure safe, smooth driving.
Tie Rod End Replacement
Tie rod ends connect your steering to your wheels. When they wear, steering becomes vague, and tire wear accelerates. We replace inner and outer tie rod ends to restore precise steering response and proper alignment.
Sway Bar Link and Bushing Replacement
Worn sway bar components cause clunking over bumps and excessive body roll in turns. We replace sway bar links, end links, and bushings to eliminate noise and improve vehicle stability.
