VISTIN:It is not that Toyota is far ahead but rather than each brand trying to be unique. Do you know why the joints pull. Honda's lower arm ball joint has its nuts unde wh Toyota has its up. Honda pulls more frequently because the there s pressure on the ball joint than that of Toyota |

/ This is one of the reasons that insurance companies do not fix most front wheel drives that get involved in front end collisions--too much liabilities. They sell them off to auction houses. Nigerians buy them, straighten the chassis, put new bumpers, paint and sell to unsuspecting end-users who are looking for cheap cars. When accidents like this happen, they start blaming their uncles in the village. Granted that Nigeria roads are best described as off-road tracks, It is foolhardy to take a knife to a gun fight. / 3 Likes |

colossus2:I drove a Honda, first an accord and then a pilot for two years while in Lagos and I never experienced that. I think it has to do a lot with the kind of road you drive on and also proper maintenance is vital. |

dubbiskelly:Prior to pulling out, it gives signs which people ignore. I know some persons who well maintained their Honda and never experienced such. |

Pebcak: Sorry to burst your bubble. I have seen a Honda pilot, yes an SUV threw the left wheel out like a cripple before. That day that I knew it was not limited to only Honda saloons was the day I gave up on having any Honda vehicle in my fleet. Even I wouldn't do Acura for a million dollars. |

I had seen it happened to mercedes Benz two times. But it is more frequent with Honda. mind you I drive a Honda car and am always afraid of my ball joint whenever I travel. |
Re: WOW 2015 Toyota Yaris Has A 145 Degree Turn Radius! by luvinhubby(m): 3:49am On Feb 09, 2016 |
NOETHNICITY: Because Honda has a dedicated market in Nigeria & there is price competition among the dealers & in other to sell cheaper, very cheap clones & brought in from China to maximise profit while beating off competitors. Did you get it, thank me later. 6 Likes 1 Share |

luvinhubby: I was thinking this was caused by Shaft problem. Which ever; all cars gives the driver signs before finally 'packing up', pay attention to your vehicle and do necessary repair/replacement - is the best. |

point of correction, dis isn't a tie rod issue...tie rod only affects d steering.but this is more frequent in honda products |
Re: WOW 2015 Toyota Yaris Has A 145 Degree Turn Radius! by luvinhubby(m): 7:13am On Feb 09, 2016 |
XBLadez: When shafts pull, the tire stops to rotate & the car remains stationary, when ball joints pull, the tire detaches from the suspensions. Thank me later. |

Not all Hondas even, it's affected 2003 to 2007 only. |

If your car keeps losing alignment and veering to one side , then its time to check and replace your ball joints to avoid the tyres pulling out. For Toyota owners, you can check my thread for the US spec Ball Joints |

It usually gives a sign in form of a sound long before it eventually happens. My mech told me and I've religiously kept to that advice and I must say, it's been a saving grace. I cannot describe the sound but you'll hear it when turning the wheels, you can't miss it. 1 Like |

luvinhubby: Why is it only Honda's own that is massively cloned? Despite the fact that toyota is more popular? I thought cloned products are usually the most popular? |

luvinhubby:So toyota doesn't have a dedicated market as well? Bro your reasons doesn't hold water, as popular as toyota tiny light is, am yet to see such happen to it, no doubt Honda is prettier than toyota BUT, this tie rod or whatever it is called is a deal breaker, let's not forget Honda's transmission failure, toyota is number one in the world for a reason... |
