The value of a comma... I was thinking there's an 'Ascunsion Honda' dealer....so whats the problem!? :yes:

Sorry for your woes,, hopefully the right magic happens soon.

Otherwise,, a good reminder to service front ends and suspensions,,, Baja roads are a full-ON test for those.

Didn't you have a lot of problems with the last car you tried to drive down? You might be looking for a new car dealer..???

Drive slower and it is easier to avoid the potholes. If you want to drive fast, get a beefier suspension than is on pilot. Faster you drive, the sneakier the potholes :light:



Woke!

you are right!
Always service your front ends and suspensions to prevent the rear suspension from failing.

:tumble:;D:spingrin:


....awright smarty. I perceived the OP was referring to parts of the front end and steering. I guess perhaps there's control arms in the rear of cars now as well.

It is one thing to swerve to miss potholes with a Honda Pilot, much more difficult when it is a "towed" vehicle attached to a motorhome!

Let mw know if you need me to visit some of the La Paz area wrecking yards to see if they happen to have one of those critters in the yard.

I won't be pulling parts for you, but will forward the yard's contact info to you.

Hmmmm...
I thought the op was asking for a tow. The problem with unclear writing, is you have to guess wtf are they communicating....
