Macmilla:
Please pals, I drive a 2001 accord and I have the following issues.
1. The revolution of the engine does not pass 4000r/min. When I step on the throttle, the engine speed rises but once the tachometer hits 4000r/min, the engine starts jerking and will not go higher. This is noticed both when the car is stationary and when mobile and affects me when speeding off. It drives smoothly if I don't push the engine. I have changed my spark plugs, changed fuel pump, cleaned air filter, all to no avail. Please help.

2. I noticed that if I turn my steering to extreme angle, my engine goes down and comes up again when I release it a little. Is this normal?
Please help.

It may be your idle sensory. Have the car scanned, idle sensory regulates the idle rev of your car and should disengage once in motion. It happened to me when i used to have a gallant 2001.

luvinhubby: Your steering rack is leaking & looses pressure.
May need to change it.

Since I bought the car over 16 months ago, I have not topped the power steering fluid nor any fluid at that. They are all above minimum

9jacrip: Have the rack looked at.

Also, check the tie rods

Ok. So can you refer any good mechanic in lagos?

We are providing workers work based on their locations and the services the offered.

It feels like the steering has a gap. When you slightly turn the steering, it frees up then stiffens then frees like there is sumtin hooking in the steering rack.

Can anyone refer a good Honda specialist in lagos. I need to replace all my suspension parts. My 08 accord is starting to feel sloppy. I had an issue with handling earlier this year and my mechanic replaced the front bushings but it hasn't fixed the problem. The car still turns randomly over little bumps.

9jacrip: ^^^ fake brake pads, change them.

Thanks, thot as much. Do you have an idea of the cost of good shocks front and rear?

Hi nlanders, I recently changed my rear brake pads. Now i hear a hissing sound while driving coming from the rear. Each time a park the car, I can smell the brakes badly like burnt clutch. I drive a 2k8 honda accord.

I also need to change my rear shocks, it rattles the dashboard when i go over bumps.

kingschild123: Budget between ₦ 27,000 - ₦ 35,000

Thanks.

Might as well check if the front ones need replacing to, do you have an idea of their cost?

symbianDON: N61,5k for one tire?? Na tractor you de drive? jus kidding. Lolz

abeg help me ask those Bridgestone guys oooo

Hi, my mechanic again noticed that my rear shocks are gone. I had a feeling too cos each time i go over the rails on 3rd mainland bridge it shakes badly at the rear.

I love my car being in top shape all the time, so sorry if am bothering you guys in here . So I need to know how much it will cost to replace both rear shocks and front shocks resp.?

Hi nlanders,

I just changed my rear brake pads after 10 months of use. My mechanic while changing it noticed that the rear shocks were weak. How much would it cost to change them? The car is Honda Accord 2008, american specs.

How much does it cost to replace rear shocks of my 7th generation honda accord 2008? Ladipo or Oyingbo? Thanks

Hi fellow Nlanders,

I need to get the Prepaid meter like asap! This is the 5th month in my new apartment and my landlord has been bringing outrageous power bills. 1st month 11K, 2nd month abt 13k 3rd was 11k and last month he brought 15k!! I dont have a deep freezer or any heavy appliance, just 2 split units of 1 hp each which are hardly on cos I leave home as early as 5.30am and get back 10pm (Lagos life ).

Please can anyone inform me on how and where to get the prepaid meter, how much it will cost and how long it will take to get it.

Thanks a lot in advance.

Thanks alot guys especially chillex8 and CityNG.

I went into the car alignment shop at bridgestone Ikoyi. Heard they were good so i went (cost me 5grand ooo). They used some kind of light instrument to align both front wheels and front to rear wheels. They recommended I change my tyres, said I may have weak tyre walls, whatever that means.
But the car rides alot better now. So i guess i'm in line for 2 new tyres, any recommendations on this? Bridgestone offered me theirs for N61.5 grand a piece imagine!!! I am currently running on 4 michelin tyres all follow come, haven't changed any.

Thanks once again.

I had my lower arms changed, the flat bushings were busted. I also changed the stabilizer rods. @chillex8 the car's handling has greatly improved, but I can still feel it swerve a little bit. Its still not as confirm and precise as it used to be. While the mechanic worked, I noticed that my two front tyres had worn alot along the inside arc as in real bad like a k-leg. Is this a toe issue?

@CityNG how can the toe be adjusted and where can I take it for adjustment?

chillex8: Get a complete lower arm+ rubber bushing for your front wheels....

That is the culprit.

Thank me later..

Wow. I had changed the driver's side lower arm in November but I ddnt change any bushings. So those this mean my tie rods and shocks are still ok? You sound like you've had a similar problem too. Thanks a bunch really.

Hello guys, I recently noticed that my accord 2008 keeps pulling to the left or right. When I brake it randomly swerves, I have to hold the steering tightly to keep the car from changing lanes. My mechanic says I have to change my front shocks while another said its my tie rods. Please help, I dnt want to waste hard earned money changing the wrong parts. What can be the problem, its so bad that I have to move below 60km/hr on third mainland bridge.

yungboss: go to a good shop, examine all your tires for evenness, some of the tyres may be bad, it has happened to me in the past...especially since this car was newly bought, it is possible the sellers replaced the good tired with expired/bad ones.

What tyre brand do you recommended and where can i get them in Lagos. R17 wheels.

sultaan: first thing you have to know is if the car was a badly rebuilt salvage.

then check your alignment by driving on a straight levelled road, take your hands off the steering and see if the car wanders away from straight line and your steering should be straight when driving straight.

After the initial test you will have to jack up each wheel and wiggle each with your hands to check for movement and loose part

I performed those test, it doesn't wander on level road, but if the road slants it wanders in that direction. I have jacked the ride up and wriggled like hell on each tire but the isn't a slack, its firm.

I suspect the tie rods, cos when i brake it turns my steering wheel. The car isn't accidented.

Hello guys. I drive a 2008 accord evil spirit. Recently it i noticed that it swerves randomly when i go over uneven roads or dips like asphalt folds. I had the ball joints and tie rods changed but it still feels loose and harder to control at speeds above 80km/hr. Someone said it is "steer bump" problem. The car runs very beautifully on smooth roads and on gallops i dnt hear any noises like bad suspensions etc. But it keeps swerving randomly on braking too.

car-doctor:
Check to see if your anti-roll bar has been removed or still in position. Some stooopid mechanics remove the stabilizer bar in the belief that it doesn't serve any particular function and I've seen it so many times.

The stabilizer bar is a part of an automobile suspension that helps reduce the body roll of a vehicle during fast cornering or over uneven roads. It connects the left and right wheels together through short lever arms linked by a torsion spring bar. A stabilizer bar increases the suspension's roll stiffness—its resistance to roll in turns, independent of its spring rate in the vertical direction.

A stabilizer bar is intended to force each side of the vehicle to lower, or rise, to similar heights, to reduce the sideways tilting (roll) of the vehicle on curves, sharp corners, or large bumps. With the bar removed, a vehicle's wheels can tilt away by much larger distances causing the car to swerve away from the line of travel.



Car-Doctor.

Thanks alot! but how do I identified my anti-roll / stabilizer bar? If it is still there how do I verify it is in good condition.?

Hello guys. I drive a 2008 accord evil spirit. Recently it i noticed that i swerves randomly when i go over uneven roads or dips like asphalt folds. I had the ball joints and tie rods changed but it still feels loose and harder to control at speeds above 80km/hr. Someone said it is "steer bump" problem. The car runs very beautifully on smooth roads and on gallops i dnr hear any noises like bad suapensions etc. But it keeps swerving randomly on braking too.

Thanks ikenna. Does alignment also cause the swerving over uneven roads? On smooth roads it drives beautifully but on a road that has folds like 3MB it pulls randomly.

Please a reply will be much appreciated. Any honda specialist i can take the car to?

Hi Nlanders. I just got an accord 08 less than 2 mnths ago. I noticed that it is really difficult to control at speeds higher than 80km. And when i go over dips and uneven road parts it swerves/pulls the steering to the direction of the bump. Also sometimes while braking i feel it pulling to the right. I have an infiniti fx35 and it rides alot better i dnt have to over concentrate with two hands on the wheel when driving on 3rd mainland bridge lol. My mechanic claims to have changed the lower ball joints and tie rods and it felt better but after a 3 day parking cos i travelled it started again. It feels like driving a car that has a mind of its own. Always swerving randomly.

Please any suggestions? Thanks
