While on my way back home last night after getting my car fixed from the mechs, was approaching a junction so I tapped on break next thing I heard a loud “Gbim sound” my highlander lost control and faced back and refused to move.

I tried firing it didn’t move, I called my mechanic when he got there he checked under and told me it’s the axle attached to the propeller that broke. He removed the propeller then the car managed to move but at a very low speed. Has anyone experienced this on a 4 wheel drive before? And how to fix this pls help!

Yes but on Nissan Pathfinder.

Kindly ensure that your shafts were properly greased mounted.

Ensure that you personally buy the axle yourself if it requires replacement. Then lube with the appropriate oil before mounting again.

Ask the mechanic to test drive before you do.

Be well.

That's because we are in 2021 and not 2002, oga upgrade...

Hmmmm.

Na this kind thing dey make sellers run buyers street.
If you don't trust a mechanic, why patronize him?
If you don't trust any mechanic, why not start fixing cars yourself?

Let's agree you buy the diff yourself, and and it is a faulty unit, why you go ask thr mechanic to test before you do? So your life is more important to you than the mechanic life is to him abi?

It's 2021, make we learn to dey do things the right way and let's learn to be humane biko.

No offense meant.

Please don't say trash. Sometimes installation error can cause damages too.

Why are you rooting for a system that is guaranteed to have a person ripped off? Are you corruption personified?

Thank God it didn't kill you but make sure you always do the proper maintenance everyday...
