Mobile Service in Dayton, OH
Mobile Suspension and Steering Repair in Dayton
Potholes are part of driving in Dayton. Over time they wear out the parts that hold your wheels in place. When you hear a clunk over bumps or a hum that gets louder with speed, something is worn. We send a mobile mechanic to you to find it and fix it.
Signs It Is Time to Call
- A clunk over bumps or when you turn
- A hum or growl that gets louder with speed
- The car wanders and needs steering to stay straight
- Tires wearing on one edge
- The car bounces after a dip
What the Mechanic Does
The mechanic lifts the car and checks each joint, bushing and bearing for play. Struts, control arms, tie rod ends, sway bar links, ball joints and many wheel bearings can be replaced in a driveway. After steering parts are replaced, plan on a wheel alignment.
A Dayton Note
The freeze and thaw cycle in an Ohio winter breaks up the roads fast. A hard pothole hit can bend a rim or tear a bushing. If the car pulls or shakes after a hit, have it checked before the tires wear out.
Common Questions
Do I need an alignment after this?
After tie rods, control arms or struts, yes. The mechanic will tell you if your job needs one.
Can you replace a wheel bearing in my driveway?
Many of them, yes. Some press-in bearings need a shop press. The mechanic will tell you which kind your car has.
