Yes it gives signs before pulling off. Once u start hearing some squeaking sounds from ur front suspension especially when making a slow turn, get ur legs checked. 7 Likes 1 Share |

The annoying part about those who comment about avoiding honda is they do not own honda cars. They only act based on the bed time story another set of individuals who do not own honda car gives to them. Is honda that terrible?. Please if you don't any experience regarding ball joint pulling off just don't say anything and do your findings 29 Likes |

Victims of ball joint issues are actually the care-free or careless drivers. Definitely before the ball joint pulls off, it must have been giving some signs like the unusual squeaking sound while turning which is the most prominent indication. If unchecked it degenerates to vehicle wobbling- a situation your steering suddenly behaves like a drunk man walking haphazzardly,l mean car dancing on the road. The next stage is better imagined than experienced, the ball joint gives way!!! 5 Likes |

Lol, I was almost a victim of this last Saturday, I drive a 2006 accord, I was driving to a friend's wedding when I started hearing the squeaking sound on steering turn, thought it was power steering oil issue considering I just fixed a power steering hose leak a week earlier. Parked and checked the power steering oil level, it was fine, no sign of leak anywhere, call my mech who asked me to bring the car the next day. I drove to the wedding and back home like that (mainland to Ajah and back!), the squeaking was louder and the car was wobbling when I speed. When I took it to my mech the next day the guy just told me its ball joint immediately he heard the sound. When it was removed, it has almost pulled out completely. Mech said I should consider myself lucky. It was the first time I'll experience ball joint issue, I have used this car for 8 months and its my first, hence reason I didn't figure the noise is ball joint, I would have turned back and park it considering I am not too far from my house when the noise started. So yes, it always gives signs and if you are not careless (I was and was just lucky) you would never experience the leg pulling. 20 Likes 1 Share |

realbee: That's it. If u a type that sturdy ur car (not those that drive their car with all kinds of noise coming from everywhere) u will never have ball joint problem with Honda. Even with the squeking noise it takes like 1-3 months before it will pull. Agreed Honda ball joints are more prone to pulling that most cars {also first gen 4runner) especially the bulldog, baby boy and EOD), pilot ball joints don't pull anyhow. But if u r the type that takes care of ur car it will never happen. I once drove a friend's 2006 Accord and it took me just 5 mins of driving to notice a bad ball joint and this guy told me he's been driving the car like that for 2 months. If that thing pull now he go say Honda is bad. 11 Likes |

so much more from Honda lovers.... well....you can drive Toyota anytime any day without the fear of leg pulling. Honda is a nice car and if you can't pay attention as suggested please avoid Honda to avoid bed time stories. if you really like Honda, go for it and pay attention if otherwise go for TOYOTA and you can drive from Nigeria to USA even with bad leg.... Team TOYOTA....... 5 Likes |

bros and sissies, I'm also on my third Honda, and yes its leg pull is grande, historic and very very common in the accords! those saying 2months, 1month, just know that except u r driving on a tiled floor.... it can pull in as lil as 10mins depending on the extent of damage and the bad road level. those saying only the inexperienced go for ur Toyota, yes Toyota has better suspension save the four runner and this is the older models oh with heavy engine, the EOD can pull even while stationary! let's not go there please 3 Likes |

Aanunimorigba: The major cause is worn lower ball joints (Kazeem calls this bow joint). When lower ball joints wear, they will creak when you turn the steering. The sound is that of a heavily rusted door hinge being forced to open. Note that this creaking or squeaking as some have called it will be intermittent. It can start after driving for say 15mins and then continue till the car is parked. Once cooled down, the sound may not be heard when next you start the car, but will surely return with driving. It is only a deaf person that will say "there was no sound" Honda's are good cars and this is coming from someone who is driving a 2003 accord purchased 9 years ago. You just need a good mechanic and I mean an engineer type, not Kazeem. Run away from any mechanic that does not have a scanner. Some who have scanners equally do not know what they are doing. We we have very genuine mechanics. They are many on this forum. I fix my car myself and you may find my blog useful www.diyautoworksng.com Finally, when replacing ball joints get an original one. When I changed mine, I bought new OEM; cost a lot, but it's been more than 3 years and I don't expect them to wear in a long time 3 Likes |

Once you hear noise from the front wheels.. Like metal rubbing against each other.. And your alignment doesn't aim front.. You will also feel a wobbling sensation.. The tyres aren't fixed anymore so they dance on the road.. When in a pothole.. You'll hear a clinking sound.. At this juncture. The ball joints are gone and it's only a matter of time... I know because I experienced all of the above before replacing the ball joints. It ALWAYS gives sign.. 1 Like |

Honda users will not stop falling my hand. As much as I love this car and will always choose a Honda over Toyota, I feel bad whenever I see one with pulled ball joint. Driving home today I saw this very neat 07 accrod (discussion continued) with pulled leg right in the middle of the road. Gave me a bad chill, I been driving Honda for 6 years and never had this problem.. how people dey take use cars sef. Just last week a 1997 Honda accord decided to pull its legs in the morning right in front of my gate when I was about to reverse and go out for the day around 7:30am oh. The funny thing is I was opening the gate when the car was passing, got to the front of my gate and gave way. I want cry, na so I carry bike jeje. The thing is if u are a carefree person, just stay away from Honda (except the Pilot that has a different wheel set up). The OEM ball joints are very good but I think the aftermarket manufacturers are finding it difficult to understand how Honda makes the Oem ones. 2 Likes 1 Share |
