ojesymsym: Whose job is this? Wheel alignment people or mechanics? It depend on your ability to spend on DIY, because not all people know how to do it. First option is buy already made adjustable arm or fabricate, then install before you carry out your adjustment to achieve zero camber. See the attached pix Second option is less expense but mechanic will do most of the job to ensure zero camber, while you will confirm it okay.

Conner44: That diagram is for the rear driver wheel well. Could you try to juxtapose it with the crv version and see if you can recognize the exact one you must have changed?
I’m having a slight negative camber at that side on my vehicle and I don’t want to go and start changing everything out since there’s no noise coming from there at the moment. Those two part ( label 19 and arm below 30) will fix your negative camber. It is either you modify them to adjustable or extend manually to the require length that give zero camber. |

Conner44: I’m seriously in need and I thought their suspension setups are similar or aren’t they? If they aren’t please say so I can bring out the relevant diagram for you to point me in the right direction.
Or better still you can just point out the one I’m supposed to change in the diagram above to be able to rectify the camber issue for a 2003 accord  Alright sir, Pls which camber is your, though I'm assuming negative camber. Also clarify if it front or rear because your image is likely for front. This is to enable me answer you sir. |

Conner44: There are up to five different arms per wheel hub. Do you remember the exact one that was modified?
Take a close look at the picture below and pick its number out from there. I have a guess but want to be very sure. Image shown is for honda Accord 2003. Are you seriously in need or you want drive at something ? |

Conner44: What was the easy fix for your camber issue?
Op the 2004 crv is a nice, spacious and strong vehicle. Look out for rust make sure there is no check engine light on the instrument cluster. It is done through modification of the arm |

There is K-leg in all Honda CRV from 1st generation to the last generation. I am in charge of one and there is K-leg at the rear wheel called negative camber, but it was an easy fix( ask me if you want to know). See the attached pix for your understanding.

FEGEITOK: N99,999.99
Shoprite
Watched a lot of videos, and after reading up on all the companies, decided on these guys because of their cleaning pedigree. They have been making this since the 1950s.
Will most likely update this weekend.
I did a test run last night, you need a longer cable than that which comes with the unit. They sell the pressure hose for N1,500 per yard, the set up of the connectors both the end that goes into the machine, and the trigger gun for N2,000 each or N4,000 in total. The one that comes with the unit is just 4m long.
Without doing this, you will need to keep moving the unit to wash the whole car.
You will also need an extension cable or reel unless you have an electrical outlet outdoors.
I will most likely import the K5 later since it overcomes the limitations of the K2 with features such as a longer factory pressure hose and a water-cooled engine. But if you want a pressure washer that can do just about anything not just for your car, then get the K7.
You will also need another hose that is not supplied to connect the unit to your water supply, the length will be determined by the distance between the wash area and your water supply Thanks sir. I will further wait for more review sir |

ayanjamz: I reported the case to a DIG and 2 DPOs yesterday... They told me I shouldn't stress myself at all. They told me to find out how much is a new catalyst from eBay. The mechanic has been begging since yesterday. The excuse he gave for removing the catalyst was dat he tot, it cud be the one causing overheating (possibly clogged up), he decided to sell the catalyst but since I raised the alarm of strange noise from the exhaust, he has gone to buy a China catalyst as replacement and that is what is in the welded section of the exhaust.... Omo, the DIG and DPOs no even wan hear that story ooo, they said that story is for me and not for them. The mechanic has been begging with different kind of Gods E don happen. Oga, no agree for him, so that next time he go think well |

Mr iykecollins1, do you agree to your customer narration below?kolly9ja: Dear Nairaland Expert,
Please I need your help concerning Lexus RX330 ( 2005) Gear issues. I got a Tokunbo Gear from a Nairaland dealer user name (Iykecollins1).
He gave me his mechanic to fix the gear and recommend Toyota transmission fluid
( Bought at N25,000 each). Bought 2 Gear oil from him also.
His mechanic sent his boys to install the gear. But the gear will only move when cold and only shift at R.
So I called him .He ( Gear seller) referred me to an electrician which insist my Brainbox is not good. He changed the brainbox, but still same issues. Paid heavily ( N160,000) for this also So far money spent on this gear
I also called a service of a nairaland expert for scan ( Scan code : P0771).
The dealer and the electrician requested I sent the car to ladipo ( My greatest mistake).
Car was sent to Ladipo and Gear switch sensor was discovered broken, and was changed, Car will move but jerk, sometimes gear will slip, rescan and comes with Code P0776 and P0746.
Dealer advice to remove Gear filter. Meaning gear should be install without filter.
Please I will need advice how to fix the issue. Park presently park at sango ota.
Note : Until now only the mechanic and electrician that work on the Gear came from him. Gear bought as Tokunbo, seems this guy Warranty is mere words. He gave guarantee of 1 week, but Gear issues started second day to the warranty which I notified him. |

This is a serious issue, 610 thousand naira spent on gear and no result. The annoying part of the show from Igbo spare part seller throughout this nation is as follow: 1) payment for part will be taken by seller ahead before pick up on the trust that part is in good working condition. 2) if part is defective, NONE of them want to bear cost of logistics for returning and picking replacement part. That is if seller agree to replace. 3) Seller Don't bother about cost of labour for the number of time replacement part is remove and fix, rather they expect buyer to continue to bear 4) It is very hard, I mean very hard for seller to return your cost of purchase for the part again. This will lead to Buyer to bear the loss.
Mr Kolly9ja, try and present or communicate with iykecollins1 and see where his own action will lead and let him assure you of good result before payment of whatever you need to pay again. Also iykecollins1, Kindly sort out this issue and stop exchanging word with your customer. This is your first issue since your sale commence on this thread. Remember how you handle this will determine the assurance of other people that will patronise you again.
I look forward to mutual resolution to this issue from both parties involved.
Peace out |

Emmyrano55: Yes i bought a complete engine but without gearbox, i have ringed the engine twice and it started smoking so dat was why i have to change the complete engine. Consider change of throttle body from old engine to the new, since such problem was not associate with former engine. Am suspecting your idle valve in the new engine |

This is my truth and nothing but truth; Don't buy that brand of vehicle. It will be hard to repair and source parts everywhere you go, and when part is even available, its cost will be high.
Over to you to decide |

Conner44: Good luck 
I’ve changed my power steering pump three times, all tokumbo units.
The first one lasted 8 months before the leaks started again, it gave up after one and a half years.
The second one was fine for 6 months then started making a noise like it was sucking air, then my rack started leaking after a year, then the pump started loosing power 6 months after the racks leak started.
This is the third year with this third tokumbo pump, no leak, no noise, smooth power round the steering band.
How long did you plan to you the vehicle before selling again? There may be another problem causing it. For me Dex III is what am using for 4 year+ and no issue with the pump |
