How much is the Tokunbo lower ball joint for Honda hala and the upper arm?

My steering is shaking as I drive. The alignment man said its a mechanic issue as it continued after alignment. What is responsible? I am afraid of speeding now and need to move around. I just replaced the engine with Tokunbo.

Sir, why are you speeding on a rough road?

You are breaking rule number 1 of Honda use in our environment... (Rule 1= Thou shall always drive patiently on rough roads; speed all you want on smooth roads).


To your question, your symptom is likely due to bad sway bar links. Check them out. Will need replacement if bad.

But discovered the one of the Busshion on the left upper arm at the back as clearance
But could one Busshion be causing such noticable drifts ?

Sir, I advised you to inspect the sway bar links and replace IF bad. I see now that I took it for granted that you knew how to inspect sway bar links.
The truth is that except you order OEM new parts for your car, the 'new' parts in our market often don't work as intended. In my experience, they tend to be worse than worn out OEM parts that came with the car. Buying 'tokunbo' replacement parts helps in many cases (but not all cases).

If you have not discarded the previous sway bar links, better re-install them.

Back to your question, a torn upper or lower control arm bushing can cause your car to veer towards one side.

Lesson: Before you replace any car part, you must have proved beyond doubt that it has gone bad and needs replacement.

I use a EOD V6 and my transmission is fine. Just that when I am speeding car is vibrating. What is the cause?

Apologies Sir. Just noticed I didn't respond to this post.

The following could be responsible for vibrations while accelerating/ speeding:

1) Torn engine mounts.

Action: Visual inspection of all engine mounts. If no damage visible on visual inspection, follow up by inspection of engine behavior while someone switch btw gears, with the engine running, and the person's foot on the brake. Damage to the front or rear (or both) often produces visible marked engine 'leaps'. Damage to the side/ transmission mounts produce more subtle vibrations, but noticeable on close watch.

2) Misfires.

This could be sure to several reasons. Some bad spark plugs, one or two bad ignition coils, clogged fuel filter, clogged engine air filter, even worn timing belt.
You may have your 'check engine' light come on.
Scanning your car can reveal codes for some of these problems.

3) Uneven tyre sizes: Ẹ.g. You have three 205/65 R16 types + one 225/75 R16 tyre.
All your tires must be of equal size at all times.

4) Unevenly worn tyres

You now have to rule out some of these possible causes, in order to isolate the main problem.

Cheers!

House please I need a quick help.

I noticed my gear oil was depleted and decided to add more to top it.

The previous transmission oil I used was a Dextron 3 but I used Holts to top it up and I drove the car this morning but noticed the car revs so much before changing gear and revs too high before moving from a stagnant position.

Please help.

@nass00 @luvinhubby

Holts ke!!!

You used incompatible transmission fluid, hence your transmission's malfunction, and that is just the beginning.

To prevent a total transmission failure, you should stop driving the car for now, while you get the correct ATF to replace.

What is your car's brand and model year?
That will guide on the recommended ATF.


Note: There must be a reason your transmission fluid level was low in the first place. Assuming the transmission is healthy, I would think you probably have leaks at some point along the transmission fluid lines. You should address the reason for the drop in ATF level if you find any.

Re: Maintenance Tips For Honda Cars by Carfreak966: 9:49pm On Jul 24, 2020
I swear everything that nas00 said is true concerning the shaking of the car. The dude must have helped Honda manufacture car. As in him and Honda be Padi i swear.

Chief Nas00 what do you suggest for me on this. My steering rack is leaking oil. Do I buy a new one which my mechanic says costs 35k or repair the one in the car.

Thanks in anticipation

ATF-DW1 is recommended for your car.

To get any significant result, you will need a minimum of 9 quarts. Luvinghubby sells OR you may ship directly from USA. A carton contains 12 (each one quart).
Drain and refill the transmission three times. Test drive the car for about 10-15mins in-between and move through all gears after each test drive while engine running but foot on brake.
By the end of the procedure, you should have replaced most of your transmission fluid with ATF-DW1. You will likely notice your transmission resuming normal service while you are at it smiley

Notes:
1) Each drainage should yield about 3 quarts.

2) Original ATF-DW1 is quite costly, but the cost of ruining your transmission will be much more. If properly done and there is no leakage, you don't need to replace your ATF for another 100,000 miles per Honda maintenance manual. However, you certainly need to check transmission fluid level at every oil change and top off if necessary.

Bro, repairing a leaking steering rack hardly ever stands the test of time.
It will be more cost effective (cheaper on the long run) to replace the steering rack.

Thanks... I am a Yanni fan.
Got almost all his albums over time.
Being a self-taught pianist himself, Yanni inspired me to learn how to play the piano on my own and I am making progress cool

Before I derail the thread further, let me stop here and appeal for a close to this discussion on this thread.

On behalf of mejai and myself, I also apologize to our ancestors on the thread for the slight derailment in honor of mejai, based on common interest. sad
