    i need to VENT...


    My day is the worst day ever.. today is just badluck for honda day.. Okay i went to school even though theres nothing to do since we all took finals and whatnot.. So we all hanged out and whatnot..

    so me and my boy decided to go to Super stop and shop.. so i said yea fuck it.. ok we entered the parking lot.. the parking lot is on a slanted hill.. thats where my boy took me to learn how to prevent roll backs on hill.. cuz the parking lot is empty and is on a hill.. anyways as we gettin ready to leave.. i took a left turn.. as i took the left.. i felt i was going an faster than 10mph.. wtf next thing u know.. we heard something drop.. and the car begin to scrape... As i jumped out quick.. what do i see.. i see the wheel on the ground... i'm like wtf my tire came off or sumthing? my other friend that fucks around with suspension looked at it and said.. ur balljoint gave out and snapped the axle in half.. my wheel looked like it had a crazy camber lol... it was all toeing out and shit.. anyways we ended up leaving the car there.. trying to find a mechanic.. we then find this shop.. he would get the car towed and look at it.. i already knew it was axle and lower balljoint.. i spent 3hrs looking for these parts.. as the mechanic said he doesn't feel like puttin autozone parts.. so what i ended up doing is takin the parts outta the box and brought it to him lol.. so he couldn't tell where i got it from... i mean i didn;t really want to put autozone and lappen parts but as much as i searched i couldn't find these 2 parts for shit..

    now after all this crap.. the steers nice and smooth as fuck.. as the previous owner said the steering rack is about to go.. do u think he was full of shit? cuz when u turn the left side the wheel would stick and shit... do u think that after a few months things will happen again cuz rack and pinion is about to go? or hes full of shit? i mean my steering feels smooth as fuck.. i can steer with palming it now..

    let me know guys..

        Holy crap.. you buy a car with known "steering" issues and you attempt to diagnose the entire thing AFTER buying it, seeming like no mechanic at all took a look at it.. Lower ball joints are not that common to break and mess up your suspension. If the previous owner took his car to a mechanic and didnt play the guessing game on an online car forum, than there's no way he didnt know that the lower ball joint (among other things) were on their way out. Take your car to a real mechanic and pay him to do a thorough inspection, so you dont waste any more of your money and our time! Is so frustrating seeing people playing the guessing game online with a shitty car they bought uninformed.

        Edit: On second thought, buy my car.. the only minor problem is that I did the last oil change with milk, and the car just needs some fresh oil. Take my word for it.
