You mean youll change ball joint on almost every oil change🙄🙄🙄This is enough to rather call it a sour ride for me.

as regards the ball joint just try and ball confirm Tokunbo, although it is expensive but that’s the only way to go , aside that eod is fuel economical, strong engine and smooth to drive with the pin drive . No other car comes close in its area.

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.

I hope you already have your house/asset b4 buying the car/ liability ?
Is this necessary? Cos, the car has been bought already so what's point?

He can address that issue by tacking the ball-joint to the knuckle.

their only major issue is the ball joint. If u use it regularly, and u change em every 4/5 months, whether or not they need change, u will never experience the leg issue on d road.
Re: I Have Finally Bought My First Car by McLizbae: 4:42pm On Jun 15, 2023
I will rather avoid that type of car jare..

When u feel an unusual softness on the steering and sound in all potholes, deep or shallow. One of your ball joint is about to remove

Rikze:
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.
Asking me to rest is stupid. I've dealt with cars for long, fixed them too, so I know what I am saying. It's nauseating see folks like you spreading your ignorance about Honda cars.

PEOPLE LIKE you ehen person gaz run from you...he only ask for ideas and prayer not discouragement... we all know that when u give ur car to bad mechanic nah OYO... @youngfocus am also Using Honda Accord DC 07(discussion continue) and i have been using it since Aug 2018 till date i never experience issue because bcus i take care of the car like my first born.. i use (mobile semi-synthetic oil 10w 30 (please stick with one type never change oil type it will destroy the engine) ask the previous owner which type of oil the person was using before. if its foreign Used car check oil cap (to see the recommended oil type) if you are to oil mobile oil please buy it in mobile fuel station anywhere else will kill your engine.
if you are living in Lagos please and please take your car to Oyingbo market whenever the car have issues (you will thank me later) if not that mechanic you think is doing you a favor is actually killing you. Best advise you can get.
One love bro welcome to the family.
Good evening sir please I really need your advice on this DC (discussion continue), I have been looking for car to buy for my business and all my friends are telling me to buy Toyota Corolla but I really loved Honda Accord because they have a very good interior and the dashboard is very beautiful and the car is also spacious. Please I really need your advice from your experience with Honda Accord. Although my business is carrying of food stuff from market to my shop and from my shop to any customer that need it, the food stuff are bags of rice, bag of semo and weat, beans, garri etc. Please can I use Honda Accord discussion continue for my business please I really need your advice on this

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.
how much is the ball joint

The gear can disappoint at any time. Another name for that car is uncertainty
