hey guys so i was hearing this creeking coming from my wheel lately for the past 2 weeks and i brought it to my trusty mechanic and he said its your lower balljoint hes like i added grease in it to make the sound go away ,so today as i was leaving the gym i was doing like 30 in second gear my car loses control and i hear my rim scraping ,so im liek **** i have a flat so i get out to check and my tires on a 45 degree angle and my axle was completely off on the ground leaking everywhere,so its about 11:45 at night and the CAA comes to rescue me, and he was jokes he started lecturing my about having my car so low and that US young kids dont think about this before we soupe up our cars ,anyways to say the less he was very funny and helped the situation so we brought it to the garage and i got one jackstand on the right jack point and left it there for tommorow.my whole suspension is intact except my axle fell out.im just glad this didnt happen to me when i was on the highway coming back from john los place to pick up my mugen lip.

blame on you for being cheap...should of spent your money properly instead of on a crap mugen lip.

^^^ haha always make sure your car is up to par.. before mods are done... oh and also - get yourself a new mechanic.. your mechanic should have just replaced it instead of putting grease on it.. the sound that you heard was it being loose and worn out.

gotta love seperating ball joints...I see atleast 1 car a week stranded for that very reason

Yea I cant say id trust that mechanic anymore....yes I understand that mechanics are under stress to try not to get caught in one of those mystery shopper **** but damn if the thing needs fixing then the damn thing needs fixing!

so he put grease on it lmfao, "trusty mechanic"..maybe u should rethink that one

imported_italstallion

yeah he said the left outer tie rod was going so he told me to fix that immediatly but i was going to get my lowering springs installed later that week so he said i might as well wait till the whole suspension is out and to do it then because it will cost less.he was looking out of rme tho

So axle fell out?? Generally they lock in place and can do some serious damage to the transmission..

Happened to my brother in an old ghetto accord on the 401.
