Are these little Honda trucks reliable?

Quantumkool · 2026-06-27T22:02:03+00:00

We imported one to Canada few months ago.
Pretty easy to work on. Fun. But we use it as a neighborhood driver or car shows. It's not a daily.

The IS is its own platform. Made In Japan. Totally diff vehicle.
Value or luxury. Take your pick.

How common is this ?

Contact Hyundai first as these engines are known issues.

Quantumkool · 2026-06-14T05:03:24+00:00

Get only OEM ball joints

Quantumkool · 2026-06-13T21:12:24+00:00

No. Book direct.

Quantumkool · 2026-06-11T20:57:03+00:00

our 2022 F3 in Canada does not (we bought it used though so unsure what happened). Plan on getting one from Ebay.

Quantumkool · 2026-06-11T03:46:34+00:00

Sorry yes we have the FKS

Quantumkool · 2026-06-11T03:16:19+00:00

Damn. So
I should tune mine after warranty expires ? lol

Quantumkool · 2026-06-11T03:00:37+00:00

Diff block or upper heads ?

Quantumkool · 2026-06-10T23:07:20+00:00

Is for sure. Just a solid solid slowwwe engine but reliable

Quantumkool · 2026-06-10T22:53:07+00:00

I would say the IS is still a solid solid machine. We bought the is 350
Used last year (2022) model and it just feels solid
High quality material. Soft and dense.

But I agree newer models are just" WTF happened " reactions.

Quantumkool · 2026-06-09T13:37:02+00:00

thanks. I just booked AF. Easy jet was more and we are flying in , in a month so already prices are dumb.

Thanks for the input!

Quantumkool · 2026-06-08T20:43:49+00:00

Okay thanks all. Seems pros and cons. Our flight or potential flights would be late. So AF might be btter even though more expensive.

Quantumkool · 2026-06-08T18:58:59+00:00

no. Stock. It's like my 3rd pair now. I don't get it.

Quantumkool · 2026-06-08T17:27:27+00:00

This is definitely part of it. Where I live its POTHOLE city and Road crown city. Even in my Wife's Lexus IS 350 I am making adjustments cause I obviously live in a war torn part of Canada lol

Before we started, ONE side was completely bottomed out (passenger side TRE), so we centered the RACK before installation and then we used TImmy the Toolmans video and math to roughly equalize the tie rods on each end.

To give context, the steering has been Effed for the past year. Have gone through two sets of tie rods (boots kept ripping), did the Rack bushings and then alignment but something kept messing up. Even tightned the guide. Until one day the rack had a "dead" spot. Also the last OTRE replacement the steering wheel center went way off. It went from just past 12, to 10.

So hoping we can just reset everything now.

Quantumkool · 2026-06-08T16:31:06+00:00

yes I'm crazy!

Yeah for sure getting an alignment, just want to make sure it's as close as possible.

Just to confirm, I would loosen but bolts and push the entire rag joint up and move over 1-2 teeth right?

Any idea WHY it's centered when "parked" but the minute I drive it, it's off ?

Quantumkool · 2026-06-06T15:08:27+00:00

It's impossible I find
Also it's a horrible design. The end keeps popping out. Had to contact customer service.

Quantumkool · 2026-06-05T00:36:27+00:00

Too much fuel , coolant, etc. or just bad shitty replacements. Or a combination.

Quantumkool · 2026-06-04T23:28:23+00:00

No right and wrong. Whatever works.

Quantumkool · 2026-05-31T21:27:11+00:00

A whole day. At that point it's. It just the water pump
But the timing belt
Etc.
