This is a very common fault in Honda. It is one of the major reasons most Nigerians frown at buying Honda products especially the Accord. A lot of people will tell you they are not ready to experience the “Honda Surprise”. But as we have said earlier, it is not just a fault in Honda cars.

The picture above is a picture of the ball joint found in Honda cars. This is very similar to the ones found it German cars too. It is the component that pulls off when you neglect the signs it give. When it pulls off, the wheel of your car will go out of position. This can go to the extent of damaging several other car components such as fender, bumper and so on.
