Suspension work is not moi moi, it is an expensive and time consuming fix, anytime you want to change shocks, you should always ensure to utilize brandnew not tokunbo the you also change
1. All bushings in the suspension for both sides, lower arm, camber etc

2. Change all linkages to brandnew

3. Check the springs

4. Check the sway bars

5. Rubber of the shafts and unsure to check the bearings and grease the shaft if still good.

6. Go for alignment

Thanks bro. Problem is I really need a good Hyundai mechanic. Most of them around are specialised in Toyota and Honda repair.

Guys, I'm already getting tired of suspension issues with my Elantra 2014. Although I live in a bad terrain in Ogun state but the issues are still too much. The lastest is after replacing all 4 shock absorbers and faulty hub bearing the vehicle seems to bounce and creak when climbing portholes or rough roads.

Is there any reliable Hyundai mechanic around Ikeja axis or Berger?

Good observation! Also ever wondered why every major conflict in the world has the US written over it? Wether it is open military confrontation, regime change, social uprising, insurgency/freedom fighting just name it. No matter how far from across the Atlantic it seems to be happening, the little fingers of the US is always somewhere lurking and playing devils advocate. From all major conflict since world war 2, look at the current political turmoil in Pakistan, the heavily divisive elections in Serbia and Hungary, how come the US is always mentioned? This will give you an idea of who is really destabilizing the world covertly or overtly. The world would be safer if the US stops interfering in sovereign affairs of other nations, and stop trying to divide nations into us or against us, stop trying to have sovereign governments subservient to US foreign policy and allow them chart courses that befits them more economically and politically.

Who started the Korean war?

Anybody can claim to be the highest producer until need to prove it arises.

A reasonable person don't take statistics borne out of maintaining influence serious until the need to prove it comes.

You would have understood this simple thing if you have been thinking for yourself.

How can a country like USA claim to be the highest producer of gas when she neither has the highest gas reserve nor export the highest quantity of gas?

Who exactly are they producing it for?

Foreign Affairs / Re: In Reversal, Biden Maintains US Right To Use Nukes In A First-Strike Scenario by formaxy: 1:55pm On Mar 26, 2022
Shoodboi:
All they're saying is that the US has a policy to use its nuclear weapons first even if no one fires one at them.

However, during the presidential campaigns, Biden criticized the policy and promised to change it so that the US will only use nuclear weapons when someone uses one on them first.

Now, Biden has backtracked on that promise and will not retain the current one that allows him to use hisnuclear weapons first.

There is no news here: Just another politician will the usual failed promises.

Besides, Daily Mail is a sensational tabloid and will write anything for clicks.

Dig you read the article? The conditions for a first strike use?
Foreign Affairs / Re: Russia: We Have Achieved Our Objective In Ukraine by formaxy: 9:40am On Mar 26, 2022
mach7:
If the aim was to overthrow Zelensky then Kiev will be in ruins and all mechanisms of government will have been destroyed.

Putin before the commencement of the special military operation never mentioned an overthrow of Zelensky.

Putin's speech announcing the commencement of the operation never mentioned overthrowing Zelensky.

Putin's comments on the 3rd day of the operation when speaking to the Russian Security Council called on the Ukrainian military to overthrow Zelensky as he preferred to negotiate with the military rather with Ukraine's "drunk and drug addicted" President. According to Putin, he wanted to avoid bloodshed hence the call for the military to take over and then lead negotiations.

Two days ago, when Dmitry Peskov spoke with Amanpour on CNN, he said that the goal is not to overthrow Zelensky but reaffirmed that it was to demilitarise and denazify Ukraine.

These are facts. If you want to disprove, then show me where he made calls for overthrow of Zelensky before the operation commenced.

I don't know if this is deliberate attempt to twist open truth or outright ignorance.

Putin's demands as well as the negotiated conditions for cease fire included: Denazification of Ukraine (whatever that nonsense means), Demilitarisation of Ukraine, Bringing those who he felt where behind the "genocide" in the Donbass to justice.
Recognizing the Donbass as independent territories.

Has he achieved this? Nah

And please don't ask me about links. The internet is very open for anyone honestly Interested in the truth to find it out in 10mins

Some people have been confused with the plethora of fake news being churned out by the West, and this has inhibited them from seeing the bigger picture.

The major goal of the operation at the first stage was to free the Donbass and recapture its territory, reestablish water supply to Crimea, destroy the military capability of the Ukrainian Armed Forces and prevent the ability of the Ukrainians from creating a dirty bomb by seizing the Nuclear Power Plants. All of these have been achieved at least up to 90%.

The forces deployed North of Ukraine, in Kiev, Kharkov, Sumy and Chernigiv were used to tie down Ukrainian forces and prevent them from being able to provide reinforcements to the Donbass. Russian troops haven't assaulted those cities yet, they just surrounded them (or blocked them in Russian parlance). So news about Ukraine launching counter attacks on places that haven't been captured is just fake news for morale boosting.

The second phase based on how negotiations progress, will be to storm those cities mentioned above and seize it. Thus applying more pressure on Ukraine and it is forced to accede to Russia's terms.

Russia already controls two full regions of Ukraine, Zaporozhye and Kherson and this has made them to establish a land connection between Crimea, the Donbass and Russia itself.

These were not the objectives spelt out by Putin before the invasion. Stop twisting it

The fact that you can conviniently submit that the experience of The Africans and The Asians under European misrule are the same, show that what you need is greater education.. The ignorance is overwhelmingly alarming...

So why did the Europeans trade on slaves in black Africa in such a dehumanizing way, while not doing exactly the same in their Asian colonies? Because of PMB and the PooPoo man too?

Maybe I should help you out in another way. China lost over 60m to war and famine in the 20th century. Japan fought a war that tore the nation to pieces. Vietnam fought a war against colonialism, civil war with the south and border dispute with China and lost over 10% of its population. India too, Laos, Cambodia... Every country has had its own problems to deal with. Even in Africa certain countries have gone through worse than Nigeria and are still better. Keep blaming Lord Lugard for your failure to rise above ethnicity to vote in capable leaders.

Very soon Afghanistan and Iraq and even this Ukraine will rise from ashes to surpass Nigeria. Keep blaming the west!

And you are so dense to quote the very biased western news outlets as your trusted sources on news about Russia!? You can't do your mental health a little favor by atleast trying to source your authentic news items from proven independent sources!? You can't see how mangled and distorted your worldview is a result of your hapless dependence on these thourughly biased western news sources? What's your problem with Russia to start with? Where they the ones who colonized you, enslaved you and are now imposing idiots as your leaders? Ahbegii, don't get me started..

Can you please quote your reliable Russian sources? Oh! Wait! You can't cos all talk of the invasion has been banned in the Russian media. You talk of independent sources..funny except your Independent sources are conspiracy story channels on YouTube with no credibility. Anyone who speaks the truth to you is automatically labelled brainwashed by Western media.

You don't realize it's you who has been so blinded by hate for an imagined enemy that you reason like mangled animal.

I know your type- blame others for your failures, but go behind to support a demented PMB or BAT to power and over and over again. Typical black man - blame Europe for all your problems and leave out your own path. Asian countries that where even more damaged by war and genocide in the 20th century and ruled by the same Europeans are growing very fast. Keep blaming dead Europeans for your plight. Don't wake up and build your country.

My only concern is that Russia would go crazy if they feel cornered, and there's no telling what a mad man with a gun can do.

Honestly, that's the main cause for concern. Even in defeat, NATO has to give Russia a way to save face otherwise they'll probably do something funny on their way out... Like use a nuke on Kyiv after their defeat

I mean, if you can believe that in less than a month of fighting, Russia has lost over 40,000 soldiers, then you're so naive and ignorant you can believe anything!
No wonder you guys happily elected an illiterate mujahideen as your president twice..

You are the naive one here. Please follow up with happens on twitter, Facebook and Quora and get live info on the happenings and forget this conjecture. It's now a war of attrition. Russians are retreating and digging in cos of the high casualty rate

Read about Russification of eastern Ukraine and Crimea during Soviet and empire era you would understand what is going on.
That hausa speakers or natives in Jos north does not mean it doesn't belong to Berom people.
That yorubas are majority in some towns in Benin Republic doesn't mean Nigeria should start to claim those towns.
That Russian speakers are majority in some cities in eastern and crimea doesn't not mean it belong to Russia.

Can u tell why Russia government fought against chechen separatists who declared independence from Russia. Are chechen people Russians?

Are u saying if Nigeria removed English as official language, UK will attack us?

Ukraine is not Russia.

Putin apologists are honestly tiring. You can't just start a war to defend so call "ethnic Russians" in another country. If so, German can annex Austria, Mexico invade the US(suicide obviously), and so on. Russia is after territorial expansion. Territorial expansion is the major cause of half the wars in history. It should be condemned not emulated

I'm surprised no one has mentioned this thought. Criticize as you like, Biden has been around the corridors of Washington politics for over 35years. He has been a part of previous mistakes and is more willing to listen to the voice of restraint than adrenaline

Where do you people hear all these stupid things you say on Nairaland? How is the Ukrainian army a third tier army? An army rated as the 22nd best military in the world and is one of the strongest and largest armies in Europe is what you call a third tier army? Are you guys aware Ukraine is the second largest country in the whole of Europe after Russia?

So the "22nd best army in the world" is a strong army compared to Russia? Or you didn't know Iraq was the 4th largest army in the world yet the US drove them out of Kuwait in 100hrs? The different in ability between the top 2 global armies and the rest is a whopping chasm. You can't compare them on paper.

Yea, Ukraine is the second largest country in Europe but European countries apart from Russia have very small land masses. For instance, Ukraine's landmass is 60% that of Nigeria's

you are wrong, Ukrainians are also Slavs (a very tough set of humans)they got mixed with Mongols, another set of strong blood.
France(Gauls)can't stand what Slavs can stand.
Remember Hitler ran down France in two weeks but had problem in Russia

Nope. The USSR in WW2 had so many advantages that worked against Germany

- Far larger population and the will to commit millions back into the war despite heavy casualties. The Red army lost 4.2m men in the first year of the invasion (think am)
- The winter. Seems Hitler didn't quite read about Napoleon's adventures in the 19th century.
- mostly importantly, the geographical size of Soviet union meant the Wehrmacht has to stretch its supplies lines over hundreds of kilometres in the winter to the front. The army can win a war without food and supply of armour. This worked against that's Nazi's

France on the other hand is a far smaller country, same weather as Germany and just across the border. This is not about strong blood. The French army has won more wars than any other country in history

I keep telling Putin e-rats and comradunces that NATO will take the Russian military out in less than a week, thats why Putin is always talking about Nuclear weapons.

The Russia army is now weakened by war in Ukraine and European members of the alliance have been emboldened by Russia's failure against a third tier Ukrainian military. If Russia attacks NATO, it would be suicidal.

Meanwhile Putin is still drinking vodka and preparing to launch a final assault on Kiev.

NATO can end everything by just assuring Russia that they won't expand east and all this will end quicker than it began, but they won't.

Before quoting me, please educate yourself about the Cuban missile crisis when US almost went to war with Cuba because it was getting too close to the Soviets.


For people that keep quoting the Cuban crisis a way of justifying Russia's invasion tend to completely miss the most apparent lesson of the Cuban crisis: Kennedy and Nikita Kushrev both realised they couldn't afford to go to war and instead made compromises through back channels in the interest of peace. Negotiation is and remains a far better tool than war.
