What is going on with this Pilot?

Was following this Pilot today, sorry the picture is horrible. The fact that the whole rear suspension looked to be only a couple inches off the ground is what caught my eye. Then I noticed the extreme negative camber of both the rear wheels. What exactly failed here? I’m so confused.

. What exactly failed here? I’m so confused.

Probably a pallet of tile or Quikrete in the back.

Nah, the body wasn’t squatting at all, it just looked the whole rear suspension fell out of place. It shouldn’t be that far below the bumper.

Could be the bushings have been squashed out/disintegrated.

I notice lots of older Pilots have excessive rear camber.

Subframe has to be bent. Any suspension component that failed would cause the body to sag, not the subframe/control arms to go away from the body.

Hmmm. The Pilot does sit oddly high off of its supension. It doesn’t hide its minivan roots too well in that regard. If you take the rear bumper off an Odyssey, it basically looks like that.

The only worse example I can think of is the Aztek.

I’ve seen more than one Pilot like this, and I just thought it was probably overloaded.

Idk, but one time I saw a Honda Pilot doing the exact same thing, but while towing a trailer on an interstate. I just assumed he had way too much weight on the hitch and I GTFO before something bad happened.

Guessing this thing was mistreated in the extreme.

Sub frame and the body have separated. Hopefully no children are involved.

Must be a common problem

Oh man, I had to do a huge concrete project over the summer. Two 20" diameter x 54" deep pilings for my back porch. I own a half ton pickup, but the job required about 2500 lbs of concrete. Being a responsible truck owner, I hauled the concrete in two trips. HOWEVER, the guy with the 15 year old minivan next to me at Home Depot?? He loaded up a similar amount of concrete in just one load. So frickin overloaded. Your comment is spot on, and I think of that every time I see wheels splayed out on a beater passenger car.

I’ve done 80-bag jobs (front walkways) that I originally eyeballed to be 20-bag jobs before realizing how hard it is to estimate volume without measuring.

Midsize sedan. About 6 trips. On the bunpstops the whole time (20mph neighborhood roads only).

At some point, the idea of calling a ready-mix truck to swing by the house and dump it seems very appealing.

Concrete jobs ALWAYS require more that you think. My job was juuuust under the limit to call in the truck. Only took me 4 hours to do, but a truck delivery would have been nice.
