This leads to problems with handling and a rougher ride. If your control arms are going bad, you might hear clunking or knocking sounds when driving over bumps. Your steering may feel loose, or your car might pull to one side. Worn control arms can also cause uneven tire wear, making it harder to keep your car driving straight. In severe cases, a damaged control arm can affect how your wheels stay in place, c reating a serious safety risk. Ignoring bad control arms can lead to bigger suspension issues and more expensive repairs. If your car isn’t handling like it should, it may be time for a suspension repair. At David’s Automotive Repair, we’ll inspect your suspension and make sure everything is working properly. Call us at 972-625-1836 to schedule a reservation today.

They hold the brake pads and press them against the rotors when you step on the brake pedal, helping your car slow down or stop. Over time, calipers can wear out or get stuck due to dirt, rust, or leaks. When this happens, your car might pull to one side, your brake pads may wear unevenly, or you could notice a burning smell after driving. A stuck caliper can put extra stress on your brakes and tires, leading to bigger and more expensive problems. If your brakes don’t feel right, it’s best to have them checked before the issue gets worse. At David’s Automotive Repair, we’ll make sure your brakes are working properly.

Over time, both wear down from the friction created every time you press the brake pedal. Brake pads are designed to press against the rotors, creating the stopping power needed to slow your car. When pads wear too thin, they can’t grip properly, leading to longer stopping distances and potential damage to the rotors. Rotors, the metal discs that the pads press against, also wear down and can become damaged and grooved, causing vibrations or squealing noises when braking. If you hear squeaking, grinding, or feel vibrations when stopping, it may be time to have your brake system checked. Ignoring these warning signs can lead to more expensive repairs and put your safety at risk. At David’s Automotive Repair, we inspect your brakes to ensure everything is working as it should.
