Trust, in most cases, all it needs is the reset

I had mine replaced under warranty hence my statement.
Resetting did not turn the VSA light off...

Today I took out the faulty suspension parts.

The left CV joint and I will be replacing bearings on the wheel hubs in front.

Re: Vehicle: 2009 Honda Accord EX-L. THE REBUILD by GAZZUZZ(m): 10:41pm On Jun 26, 2017
the wheel hubs (front) will be taken to a machine shop, and old bearings will be pressed out, then new bearings pressed in.

Old CV joint failed due to a leak on the booth

The former owner of this car deserves better serious cane, utter lack of maintenance. He's just so lucky that the steering rack didn't pull out on him whilst driving.

steering racks do not pull out, joints pull, there are 4 ball joints on each side.

* upper control arm ball joint

* lower control arm joint

* tie rod end inner and outer side joint.




The joints that are susceptible to pulling are the upper and lower control arm joints

New bearings installed, wheel hubs wire brushed and a coat of protective paint sprayed over it.

The parts to be worried about in a honda are the upper arm joint

Both are still stock parts, and in a surprisingly great state of health

Went for a test drive, and the growling from the wheels is no longer there.

The kakakaka sound when turning is also gone

Undone work.

I have gotten 2 quotes for the upholstery work, with a 1week duration for completion of the work. Both guys charged 50k each (like say dem get union grin) I also found the stock interior complete @ 150k in ladipo.

I will be going with the upholstery option but will inspect previous work done by each of them to make a decision. This will be done along side painting and panel beating.
