    Front · Lower Ball Joint

    Right front ball joint collapsed -separated from suspension, luckily while entering a driveway, at slow speed - car became immobile. This recall exists as campaign #99v069000 for this year and model, but according to honda, not for this car's vin number. Leads me to think that this is more prevalent than at first thought. *tr

    There is no adjustment for the right rear camber. The car therefore has never been in proper alignment. The result is that i have had premature wear on my tires. I went to have my front end aligned when the dealer informed me of the problem. I feel honda should be responsible for replacing the parts that would put the car in proper alignment. The car has never been in an accident and shows no signs of impact.
