Odyssey

  • miles
On 4/01/2015 the lower ball joint on the right front wheel of my 1998 Honda Odyssey broke, causing that side of the vehicle to collapse to the ground. The half-axle separated and fell out and the car ended up with the right front fender resting on the tire which had flipped out at right angles to the vehicle. The brake hose also burst under the stress as the car came to a literal grinding halt. I had just had all upper and lower ball joints replaced on 9/23/22013 at the brake check shop on austin highway here in san antonio, Texas. They tell me the parts were distributed under the brand name driveworks, and sold by advance auto parts. Right now I am having the car checked out and repaired at another shop. Will have them save the damaged ball joint, which I will be happy to make available to you. Just happy accident did not occur on an interstate highway while traveling at 70 mph in front of an 18-wheeler....
