Had a little accident bumping into a huge pot hole along Lagos-Badagary express, Vehicle Lost Control and hit the culvet, Bumper destroyed, lost alignment and Steering feels stiff turning to the right side.

Car has an electric steering column mechanism, I was told the column is faulty but changing it at Ladipo, none worked.

Reading online, I found out it could also be due to a Calibration issue.

Is it normal for a car to loose control when it bumps into a pot hole? It's a converted car from RHD to LHD, Also, does anyone have an idea of how to recalibrate Rx450H electric steering column?

If you have Thinkdiag, you can calibrate easily yourself but trust electricians to bill you 20k upwards for it

Please I need help with my is250. Just got this car Nigerian used had to do usual oil maintenance after getting the car and after Iā€™d done it, drove the car for a while( say 2 days). I noticed on the 3rd day the engine would misfire and there was blue/black smoke coming out the engine. When I got the car, the mechanic who diagnosed the engine said the oxy sensors needed to be changed and just the oiling. But after changing all that the car has become worse than it was when I first got it. It rough idles while in a static position and the throttle misfires . Please who can help me with this
Mechanic used Mobil Super 2000 5w-30 semi synthetic

I agree with you, However, the Driver of a converted vehicle should be aware so as to be more careful.

Although I wasn't the one driving, I nor the Driver were informed the vehicle was converted.
