Front-End Repair

Keep Your Ride Straight, Stable, and Safe

Your front-end system controls how your vehicle steers, handles, and absorbs impact from the road. If you’ve noticed pulling, shaking, or uneven tire wear, your front-end components may be worn or damaged. Our expert technicians provide thorough inspections and precision repairs for steering, suspension, and alignment systems — helping you drive confidently and comfortably.


What’s Included in a Front-End Check

Our front-end inspection covers:

  • Tie rods (inner and outer)
  • Ball joints and control arms
  • Idler and pitman arms
  • Steering linkage and bushings
  • Sway bar links and stabilizers
  • Visual alignment indicators
  • Road test (if needed)

We also check for signs of worn-out bushings, excessive play, and uneven tire wear — all indicators of front-end issues.


Signs You Need Front-End Service

  • Vehicle pulls to one side while driving
  • Steering feels loose or delayed
  • Clunking or knocking sounds when turning
  • Uneven or rapid tire wear
  • Vibration in the steering wheel
  • Drifting while cornering or braking

These symptoms can indicate problems with your steering or suspension components — and should be checked right away.


Common Front-End Repairs We Offer

  • Tie rod replacement
  • Ball joint replacement
  • Control arm and bushing repair

Why a Healthy Front-End Matters

  • Accurate Steering Control – Helps your vehicle respond properly to input
  • Tire Protection – Prevents uneven wear caused by misalignment or loose components
  • Ride Stability – Keeps your car centered, smooth, and balanced
  • Preventative Care – Catches small issues before they lead to major failures
