Na old motor.. If you try to fix every minor creak and rattle, it will bankrupt you.

For those kind of body creaks and rattles that don't affect drivability, just increase volume of radio and keep driving..

My colleague in the office spent close to 100k chasing one phantom barely noticeable creak in his car dashboard for months.. Last last, mecho wey dismantle dashboard no fit couple am back properlygrin.. A broken clip here, broken plastic and a cut wire there, that's how matter escalated to the extent of airbag deploying on its own and nearly killing him while he was in the car, parked by the roadside... If e enter pothole, windscreen defroster and wiper go on, and plenty other gbege enter the moto.

Mechanic from hell. grin cool

Your highlighted is very wrong though. It only happens to people without maintenance culture that ignore warning signs in their cars.

Your assumption is very wrong too. Is it only Honda (EoD) users that have poor maintenance culture? Can't they be found among other car users? Why only Honda that ends up with pulled legs?


Rest.

that's all, the eod is a strong lad, only ball joint issue

He should even change them every 1.5years whether or not they pull. Our erosion water, sand and bad roads cause the joints to pull out quickly.
Erosion water washes the grease easily and sands grind the balls, causing the balls to quickly reduce in size and making them to fall off or pull out easily.

OP should also mind how he turns the steering, especially on rough roads.

Iā€™d be does any how yagayaga with the steering on rough road, or turning it anyhow or sharply, tires while the tires are still gripped by the rough road causes the ball joints to pull out forcefully.

That's the kind of car I use too at the moment. It's very good. Just make sure you tend to the ball joints, and pls don't buy new ball joint, buy tokunbo from reliable part seller. That's all.

I actually service every 4 months. Congratulations. More and better ones to come in Jesus name. God will bless you so much with cars that you will give this out.

Just do the same & don't wait until u start hearing any strange noise b4 I take it to d mechanic. U will surely enjoy it
It's a very good car.

The ball joint issue does not occur spontaneously. It will give sign but if you refuse to attend to it on time, it will disappoint you when least expected, even with other avoidable damages.

Always pay attention to every sign that your car gives that shows that it needs to be serviced. With that, your car will hardly revolt against you.
