alphaNomega:

You have experience with the brand and the EOD is a significant upgrade to your Bullet. There is no reason why you should not go for it.

legalwealth:


No reason because you seem to have maintance culture! !!

Go for it but open your eyes and the likes when getting one.

owelle22:
Nigeria used no

The only vehicles i come across on the road with front axles tearing apart are Honda Vehicles, whether car or SUV...

legalwealth:






Some other vehicles even Toyota do as well.

Lack of maintenance culture
Usage of cheap parts
Usage of cheap parts for too long than necessary
Ignoring warning sounds
Etc

To be frank, I still have my EOD 2005 and I have never experienced such since early 2016. I replace necessary parts with quality ones. I change in pairs; like the last time I changed its ball joints, one was still okay while the other one is getting bad but I replaced the two with very okay ones.

dicksonadams:
Use oem ball and you are find... Your China ball joint and you are not fine

psalmz:
the question is where to get those parts

legalwealth:



There are always quality ones available around though. You just need to search and do with good money. For example, there is a part going for N2,500 while there is another one going for N4,000 but most people will go for that of N2,500 and want to use it for like it is OEM.

If you want to actually get quality aftermarket or OEM parts, it is better you order by yourself from selected online stores in abroad.

Last year when I had to replace its upstream oxygen sensor, I tested it with belgium ones but it kept rejecting them I think being a USA model.

I was able to fix the issue after I imported Honda OEM upstream and downstream oxygen sensors from USA and fixed them onto it of which the check engine light dissapeared without having to clear any code. Both cost me like N75,000 (N50,000 for the upstream and N25,000 for the downstream).

woodrow:
Just make sure you get a good car.eijther Nigerian used or tokunbo.i think hubcruz has one for sale.you can check his profile,you might just be lucky.

sheantip:
Well, I think a ball joint issue is small compared to issues a Honda accord might have.
Are Honda engines strong?
The good is the gear?
Does it have electric problems etc.

Answers to the above questions is what the op would like to have.
Not only ball joint issues all the time.

psalmz:
so getting genuine parts is best gotten from the USA

legalwealth:


Can't say genuine parts can only be gotten from USA but that is where I've been getting my stuffs from without any regret.

If you are buying a Nigerian used, your major concern should be the gear. They are unforgiving if abused. Trust Nigerian mechanics to put in abro oil
