Una wahala too much! Can we focus on signs I will notice before getting a wheel falling out. I plan buying a 2008 CRV again.... sure haven’t seen any wheel falling out with that. But with or without... I really don’t want to be in that situation no matter what. bjtinz: |

diportivo: Dude, calm down, we got your point. Every car parts bolted together can fail. This applies to any car make and model, no exceptions. But it is a clear fact that the suspensions of some particular model and years of Honda especially the Accords and CRVs are prone to easy fail compared to other makes and models of vehicle Except of course if we want to start deceiving ourselves and play the game of Ignorance. 1 Like 1 Share |

Jidegravica:bow joints don't fail without warning,at least I have encountered 5 bowjoint failures when I used Honda babyboy,1 failure when I used the Acura RL and currently 1 failure in the DC,what I found out first you will hear a noise when you slowly enter pothole,at first the noise can be a mild kpokom,but at time goes on it will deteriorate and be louder,uneven wear of Tyre on the bad side,stiff steering wheel and also the car will have a tendency of swerving to one side,if you driving a Honda pls check any strange noise coming from your front tyres,but glory be to God these bow joint problem don't happen at high speed,it always occur 99% of the time when the car is just crawling or less I would have been dead 7 times over 2 Likes 1 Share |

Og bobs no be only honda,na any car. What I noticed abt ball joint. Signs. If ball joint is good,just 1 finger can twist steering,if it's bad,2 to 3 fingers will twist steering to 90 degrees, steering will feel a bit stiff like 15% while turning ubcant help but enter pot hole. The more pot holes u enter,the more your suspension shifts and gbam ball joint rubber trips off and gbam,your tyre disconnects,damaging fender. The ish is ball joint no dey affect suv,but ubsee sedan,I e like make e be c350,es,IS. One day ball joint go give up,esp if u r in a poor man area,where pot holes exceed 100. Na oyo o. No tarred road,no sedan. Simple. Tbo I entered pot holes like 10times at top speed. What I heard was gboomppm. But sadly today my ball joint gave up at 30kph. Thank God I was 500m away from home and na day time. I was so happy. If u find your steering a lil bit stiff,na and some lil noise when u turn steering,na ball joint dey give u sign so. Once u turn steering e still tiff and u no hear that plastic rubbing plastic sign,thinking u need to loose your steering. Oh bobs n ball joint wan cut so,tyre cut out destroy fender. Imagine what life would have been if nepa stable and naija Road no get 1 single pot hole 1 Like |

I'll be brief on this cuz I've said this many times. 1. Inexperience or poor mechanics 2. Fake parts (especially the ball joins and the nuts) 3. Lack of awareness by owner. 4. Honda too should have done that stuff better. Anyways, if you will use a car that is made by Honda, kuku save and buy Acura. The peace of mind no be here. E far gan. 1 Like |

Re: Honda Cars Front Wheel Falling Out by buygala(m): 9:43am On Nov 06, 2021 |
adanny01: When the ball-joint pulls out at high speed, it's either the vehicle collides with oncoming traffic, runs off the road into a tree, rock, a person or people's houses, or somersaults... whichever way, it's very likely that the vehicle will be so mangled that unless the driver survives to tell the story, a broken ball-joint will be the last thing on the witnesses' mind...at that point, what majorly matters are Plantain leaves and how to steal the victims' phones and other valuables ![]() I am actually shuddering thinking of my car's ball-joint pulling off at 160km/hr ![]() ![]() 3 Likes |
Re: Honda Cars Front Wheel Falling Out by adanny01(m): 11:30am On Nov 06, 2021 |
buygala: The reason i asked you is not for you to postulate theories , but to tell me if you know anyone who died or collided with any other object. Even a picture will do. The problem is that you are talking about what you dont know. The fact is the pull almost never happens on high speed, hardly anything more than 20km/h. Usually, immediately after a speed or road bump, pothole, rail crossing etc How come you never see a pull out on a highway, only inside a city, street, in the middle of traffic, or in front of your gate. Your imagination should have been more constructive instead of exagerative. Addition If you understand physics, you will understand that this problem starts with weight of the car. And secondly that a car's weight on the ground decreases with increase in speed. The same reason a plane takes off from the ground only after attaining certain speed. So when a car travels at 160km/h the weight of the car is being lift up by air passing underneath it which reduces the weight on the ball joint. So the ball joint cannot reach its breaking point on speed. The speed becomes an advantage. From today, take notice that the chances of ball joint pulling at speed is greatly reduced or near impossible. It is simple physics. 8 Likes 1 Share |

adanny01: Funny guy ![]() Your physics knowledge obviously didn't take into account the fact the ball-joint doesn't just snap out of the blues but deteriorates over a period...the thread holding its nut wears off, the joint gets weaker thus giving room for more play..and then when the thread-wear is such that it can no longer hold the nut in place, or the joint gets very lax, it pulls out ...the ball-joint doesn't have sensor to know you are on 160km/hr so it shouldn't pull out ![]() Your analogy about planes and weight to motion ratio is also very very pedestrian...Helicopters take off straight off the ground...abi u wan talk say helicopters weight on the ground is same as their weight while flying? ![]() ![]() When arguing, please try not to dabble into things you know next to nothing about ![]() ![]() And for your further education, vehicles are built to grip the ground even in speed....because if for any reason, it loses grip with the road while on speed, its stability in motion becomes seriously compromised possibly leading to loss of control and a crash... In case you didn't know, unlike airplanes, your Honda isn't built to fly ![]() I drive a Honda Evil Spirit which according to reports isn't supposed to pull joints ..but I still have a close to morbid fear of the damn things coming from my baby boy days.. it's so bad that I have them checked monthly...

Re: Honda Cars Front Wheel Falling Out by Kingdemu: 12:59pm On Nov 06, 2021 |
buygala:This guy right here is making more sense than all those imbecilic folks arguing that a ball joint can't/doesn't snap when car is on speed. Thing is, when a ball joint snaps off on speed, vehicle skids off the road into oncoming traffic, bush, or a river and cause of accident is now attributed to something other than it. |
Re: Honda Cars Front Wheel Falling Out by adanny01(m): 1:36pm On Nov 06, 2021 |
buygala: The voice of your reasoning is tired of shouting and has lost its voice in the process. You certainly don't understand the physics. Ask yourself this question, why are sport cars so low and covered with spoilers? Haven't you seen a formula one car fly and flip like a rag? Thats what air can do, dammit. If you cannot add 1+1 (one apple plus another), i certainly cannot go further because your mind will not understand the physics. Conversion of theory to practical is a skill you obviously lack. If a car was design to grip the ground according to you, how come some cars have this warning and why? I am sure you dont know. 1 Like 1 Share

adanny01: So now you have left comparing your Jalopy Honda to aeroplanes and now want to compare them to race cars that are built as light as possible and reach speeds of 400 miles per hour ![]() Oga, if cars fly on a normal, why do we have roads from Maiduguri to Lagos...why don't we just have a runway in Maiduguri and then fly in the air in our wonderful Hondas from there to Eko? ![]() And no.. formula one cars do not up and flip just like that...either it goes in a bend too fast, or it gets side-burned by another vehicle, or some part of its suspension malfunctions causing a loss of balance...and the fact that cars get momentarily in the air when they flip doesn't mean they 'fly'...same way that the fact that I can somersault and jump doesn't mean I can fly like a Boeing or Angel Gabriel ![]() The normal thing is for a car's tyres to maintain contact with the road at all times..and if it's in contact with the road,then its weight is borne by its suspension, which quite unfortunately, most of its weight is borne by those ball joints in some Hondas.. And yes ....SUVs or CUVs have that warning sticker you attached because due to their high centre of gravity, they tend to flip real fast if driven carelessly...that doesn't mean they fly or that it's a normal sequence of events for their tyres to be off the ground when on high speed...so in the normal cause of driving, their tyres grip the ground...which means their suspension is under pressure, and is, in the case of some Honda transferring most of that pressure to those damn ball joints.. Oga Physician, has it even occured to you that the vehicle's tyres friction with the road is what propels the vehicle forward?...as in have u tried jacking a Vehicle's four tyres up and tried accelerating it...the tyres will just spin without any movement whatsoever...this means that even if you are speeding in a vehicle at 400 miles an hour, that movement is due to the friction btw your tyres and the road...the road provides the launchpad and continuous friction for your vehicle's tyres to propel the vehicle forward...once that friction is lost, you are somersaulting, which is very bad news for you ![]() You try to sound like you know a lot ..but it's obvious you are in way over your head and know absolutely nothing about what you are talking about...Repeating words like "physics" and "theory to practical" doesn't necessarily make you smart...and if you actually know me in real life, you will know I am the very last person you want to be grandstanding with if you don't have all your ducks in a row ![]() Let this matter rest and stop appearing more foolish. ![]() 1 Like |

Best advise,take it to welder,they would add about 2 to 3 layers of pure steel around the joint,making around like shape,u see that rubber with gum wey factory do,na for yankee o. Nor be nija road. When u enter better pot hole at 90 or 80kph,u go hear polonium. E mean say that rubber don tear and gum don dey loose and within a week or two your ball joint go embarrass you at slow speed like 40kph when u by mistake enter pot hole or u turn steering anyhow. Take the ball joint to welder, they know what to do. Highest 2k. If u like buy brand new one, e go still cut,gum go give up,rubber go break. I too like naij abeg. Mechanic go just chop u. See mine,I bought toks and after 2 days if gave up,na me goo welder,mechanic kit a back. Show me 1 Road or city in naija that pot holes with imperfections exceed 2000 and I go dash u 50k. Now see my ball joint that broke twice. Naija roads are not good for new with tokunbo. Welder wey permanent 2 Likes
