Ball Joints

 

Ball Joint Replacement


Automotive ball joints are a part of the suspension system in a vehicle. They connect the wheel assembly to the steering knuckle and allow for movement and rotation of the wheel while also supporting the weight of the vehicle.
Typically, there are two ball joints per wheel in a vehicle: an upper ball joint and a lower ball joint. They are usually made of durable materials such as steel or aluminum and have a ball-shaped stud that fits into a socket. The ball joint is then fastened with a nut and a cotter pin to ensure that it stays securely in place.
Ball joints are an important part of a vehicle's suspension system because they help to provide stability and control while driving. If a ball joint becomes worn or damaged, it can cause the vehicle to vibrate or shake, and can also cause a loss of control or steering. Over time, ball joints can become loose or worn out, which can cause uneven tire wear, steering problems, and suspension noise.
Regular maintenance and inspection of ball joints is important to ensure the safety and proper operation of the vehicle. Replacing worn or damaged ball joints is a relatively common repair in older vehicles, and if not taken care of in a timely manner, can lead to more severe damage and increased safety concerns.

Brakes

 If you are hearing a squeak or squeal it is most likely because your brake pads and/or brake shoes are worn down, as they are designed to do. This is the best time to get your brakes checked as at this time you probably only need new brake pads or shoes. If  you are hearing a loud grinding noise when you are braking you have warn your brake pads down to the metal backing of the pads or shoes and have probably started to grind into your brake rotors or drums. In most cases you will now have to replace your pads and rotors or shoes and drums. If you do not get it repaired now you will end up having to replace you calipers and/or wheel cylinders and bleed your brake system because after your metal backing wears down it will spit out the backing and start to stop your vehicle with the calipers pistons. or you will lose all of your brakes do to it pouring out all of your brake fluid from behind you calipers piston which is bad so give US a call or text and get a free quote before it's

How To Change Your Oil

Oil changes are something that many drivers neglect, the reason you are instructed to change it every 3,000 miles is because ALL combustion engines consume oil. The average vehicle with @80,000 miles on it can consume 1-3 quarts in 3,000 miles of driving time, even with no leaks. Oil breaks down and burns then turns black, once it turns black it thickens and no longer properly lubricates your bearings, which is vital to a properly running vehicle. To change your oil refer to user manual to get the proper weight and amount required. You will need to purchase the proper amount of oil and the oil filter that goes to your vehicle (they are not universal). The tools you will need for this job are: oil filter tool, lint free rag, drain bucket, jack, jack-stands (or a set of ramps), and the appropriate sized wrench for the oil drain plug. Remove the filler cap, this allows the oil to drain faster and helps you remember to refill it. Lift and support your vehicle with properly located jack
