    Going through Axels and Ball Joints like milk

    Hey guys i have a problem. My 1990 CB7 has gone through 2 axels and 2 ball joints in 3 months. My first driver side axel went byebye in August, Then while the driver side axel was making noise the ball joint broke and caused my wheel to collapse in September. And Now i have a broken passenger ball joint which was just replaced when the driver side BJ was replaced. Does anybody here have a clue or suggestions for my problem. I went back to the same place because i have a warrenty on my axels there. Can it be these guys?

    Could just be crappy parts. I can get lots of parts really cheap, and I'll put them on my car (not my wife's ) , but never on a customer's car... You know, a Tie Rod for $10, where Honda list is $55.

          Its not lowered yet. I heard something about urethane bush kits or something like that may eliminate or reduce wheel hop. Also last time i was in the shop I saw an empty remanufactured CV Axel which i think he put on the car. You guys may be right about the cheap parts.

            How often do ball joints "break"

            What exactly happens when the joint "breaks". sounds dangerous.
            Noobie my ASS.

              What happens is You hear a loud bang as if you hit a 2ft pothole, than the steering wheel does a 360 in my hand (always occured after a turn at a stop sign without a full stop ). When i look outside my wheel is leaning over like | | \ \. The only thing holding my tire and saving the entire front end from severe damage is the control arms. When this happenes the car cannot be moved an inch.

                We had one break on a 3G Accord as we were pulling it in to the shop... Ended up replacing a bunch of suspension stuff, becase it all looked like it would break any day...
