Control Arm Replacement for Shelter Island drivers

Control arms locate the wheel as the suspension moves. Joint or bushing wear can affect how the vehicle responds to bumps and braking.

Service at our shop: 1325 Wickham Avenue, Mattituck, NY 11952

About this service

Control arms and their bushings locate the wheels under every brake, bump and turn. When bushings crack or joints wear, alignment angles wander and the vehicle develops clunks and uneven wear. Restoring the hardware restores the geometry the alignment depends on.

Signs to have checked

Clunking from the front end over bumps
Steering that will not hold an alignment
Visible cracked or deteriorated bushings
Uneven tire wear that returns after alignment

What the visit can involve

Inspection of the affected arm, bushings and associated joints
A repair recommendation based on the worn component and assembly design
Discussion of alignment requirements and any related steering findings

Planning your visit from Shelter Island

Shelter Island, Shelter Island Heights and Dering Harbor drivers share this guide. North Ferry connects the island with Greenport on the North Fork; the vehicle service itself takes place farther west at the Mattituck shop.

Call or send a request to discuss availability and tell us about any ferry-related timing constraints before arranging the visit.

This page covers both island postal communities: Shelter Island (11964) and Shelter Island Heights (11965). Dering Harbor village uses the Heights mailing address; island customers all use the same Mattituck shop.
Check the ferry operator's current schedules and allow for crossing conditions. Contact the shop separately to arrange vehicle service and discuss arrival details.

Directions to the Mattituck shop

If your route includes a ferry, check crossing information directly with North Ferry and South Ferry. Arrange the service visit separately with the shop.

Common questions

Does a cracked-looking bushing automatically need replacement?

Its condition, movement and the vehicle’s requirements need evaluation. Surface appearance alone does not establish the full repair scope. Describe noises or handling changes as well as any previous inspection finding.

Why might the whole arm be quoted instead of one bushing?

Repairability and parts availability differ by design. An arm may incorporate a joint or bushings, while another permits separate service. The shop explains the available approach and the components included.
