snipesdam: I think toks hub is better. This particular issue has dealt with me after changing the bearings only for 3 times it still growled within 2wks. A toks hub lasted over a year before growling. Las Las you can't beat all the pot holes some you gat swim.
Choose your pools wisely.
brand new Toyota bearings are 25k a pair you can get same clones at 3,500 a pair. The argument of new over toks only holds when fakes are involved.
ofime123: my people pls help me I don't understand what all this mechanic are talking about. this my hub is giving me issue I have change it once (bearing) not the complete is not up to two month now i have started hearing noises again and the noise is give me issue I called the mechanic that help me in fixing it before he said I should buy the complete hub that it will last long I said okay. then i said let me ask another mechanic this one said I should buy original bearing and original grease that it will last long that the toks complete hub doesn't last. pls my people which one should I believe now. and this noise is getting worse am not comfortable with is any longer. pls brothers I need advice.

CruiseControl: I like your car sir. But its a little bit high. And also the manual windows makes it a turn off.
Any other?
35k and 1hr and they are back to factory powered windows. Corolla is not a luxury car, and Uber drivers love it with manual windows to deter vandalisim
SocialJustice: Excellent work as usual, I'm currently torn between getting a 2010 to 2012 Nigerian used Accord or Camry. Which do you advise? I actually intend to have you buy it and I'll come pick it. I want it to be pristine as much as possible.
MotorGuru: Automatic transmission is a torque multiplication device that is attached to your car's engine, which enables your car to shift gears automatically with little or no driver input. it is different from manual transmission in that there is no need for a pedal operated clutch. this makes your vehicle (if equipped with one ) to be very easy to drive especially in traffic jams. The ease it provides makes it very complex in its design and operation and if used incorrectly, can be easily damaged and can cost a lot of money( in some cases hundreds of thousands of Naira) to repair or replace.
The following are some key driving tips that will help keep your automatic transmission in good condition:
1.Only change from Drive to Reverse and vice versa at a complete standstill: Always ensure your vehicle comes to a complete stop before going from drive to reverse or vice versa. Shifting from reverse to drive, or vice-versa, while the car is still moving can cause increased stresses to the drive-train constant velocity joints which can lead to breakage/damage. This can also cause damage to the transmission wet clutches/ brake bands which can be a very expensive repair.so be patient and learn to use your brakes properly to stop your car.
2. Only shift to Park when you’ve come to a complete stop: You can damage or break the locking pin and the pawl mechanism that’s used to ensure your transmission is properly engaged in park. repairing this may be very costly.
3. [b]Don't put your gear in neutral in a holdup/ stoplight : Yes i know, you will say i need to save fuel, right? No it doesn't. Your RPM actually fluctuates and, in some cases, rises when you shift from Drive to Neutral. Not only does this not help you save fuel, but the fluctuation in RPM also stresses the bands and clutch plates in your transmission, which, over time, will wear them out.[/b]
4. Putting your car gear in 'L' when stuck in a muddy place: This is bad practice, as L means your car starts from gear 1, and gear 1 gives a high torque condition which will cause spinning of your driving wheels and in severe cases overheat your transmission (Heat is a major killer of automatic transmission!)In such situation , engage your transmission in '2' so that your car can start in(or immediately shift into)2nd gear and remain in that gear until you are out of the situation.
5. Launching your automatic car by revving in Neutral and shifting to Drive: Hmm. For the awon Jason Staham (Transporter) that will put their transmission in Neutral, hold down the accelerator, then shift to Drive. This is very bad practice as this subjects the clutches and bands in these cars' transmissions are placed under huge amounts of mechanical stress due to the abrupt mashing of a stationary clutch plate with an engine that has been revved too high. this over time will wear your transmission and may call for a rebuild/ replacement sooner than expected.
dare01: Oga Gazzuzz, I recently purchase a foreign used 2010 highlander SE with a mileage of 164k with the oil due for services. Which oil would you recommend for the car(SAE 5w-30)? Moreover, the car came with a code alarm remote CATX-MLC which is currently malfunctioning. Do you know where I can get the new code alarm remote? Your input is needed sir
CruiseControl: For the past 3 months, I have been browsing Nairaland and car shops in Lagos for a good car but have found none.
Reason being that MOST NIGERIANS ARE OUTRIGHTLY WICKED, HEARTLESS AND CALLOUS.
Honestly, Cosplay have helped open my eyes to a lot going on in the auto world. From Ikorodu road down to Agidingbi, all of them are selling outright dead cars Wholely repackaged as clean title!
I have been using cosplay method to catch a whole lot of them.
My anger with them is not even about selling accidented or flooded cars. No. My anger is... WHY SELL IT AS CLEAN TITLE? AT SAME PRICE IF NOT EVEN HIGHER? MAY GOD HELP US.
Please am tired of searching But not desperate though.
