after a head gasket change and an engine tune up, I was going for an early morning test drive before handing over vehicle to client, was going probably 40km/hr, smooth roads, no clucking or "kpom sounds" and all of a sudden I heard a sudden thud!!! Lost steering control and felt the car lean to the right  slamed the brakes and this is what I saw when I came down from the vehicle.

Hmm...you're lucky it didn't really damage the tyre and the fender...had this experience with my Honda once, and it resulted in a dent on the fender...and the tyre was badly damaged. |

This episode would have been exponentially scarier if you were cruising on the highway. Are there any warning signs that precede this? 1 Like |

Mine happened at night right after a roundabout......omo.. last last they had to tow it o.. With our bad roads....i think one should just make it a point of duty to change every 6months...bad or not.. that way one can at least be less prone to this..  |

Replace your ball joint once every year and the spirit of kpom sound will stay away from you. |

How come I've never heard of recalls for this. Other countries seem to drive their Honda without similar problems. Is it peculiar to Honda in our environment? 3 Likes |

oga GAZZUZZ,please advice me.The same thing happened to my EOD 03 v6 2days ago as i entered a pothole.A mechanic fixed it on the spot and said I should buy new ball joint and lower arm.Another said I should buy new ball joint and tie rod.On getting home that day after the *temporary fix* ,I started hearing a strange noise whenever I put the gear in reverse from the park position or drive position.this sound doesn't come up at times,but when it does,the car doesn't move.it comes only when the gear is in reverse positon.The noise appears to be from the front of the car.please help.what could be wrong?I have parked the car away for now. 1 Like |
