No! What you are saying is contradictory.
 
You are saying that you do not think that Hyundai believes that there is a specific issue with
this problem that many, not only Azera owners are experiencing, but other models as well.
 
I ask you: Why would Hyundai have issued the TSB and even help with the pricing
of the Hunter GSP9700 if they did not want the dealers to fix the problem?

Does that make sense?
I know of at least one person who had been back to his dealer many times with
this same problem and the dealer had done everything but use the GSP9700.
The dealer changed wheels, tires and rebalanced different wheels and tire combinations
but the problem continued. As soon as the owner brought in that TSB and the
dealer followed the instructions to the letter, no more problems.

I called the dealer today with the TSB #. After an eternity on hold, the service manager explained they would need to do a Hunter balancing and would have to take it to the local Chevy dealership that has the machine. I am supposed to take it tomorrow.
 
   Thanks for the TSB info. I'l let you know how it turns out.

Who will take your car to the Chevy dealership, you or your Hyundai dealer?
 
Instruct whoever that you insist that the tech who is the system operator
list the "Road Force' number readings for each individual wheel.
This is the key to whether or not your problem will be corrected.
These road force reading must be below a certain number of pounds, the
lower the better.
I have read that this reading must be 15 pounds or less.
 
I wish you would take the time to read up on the Hunter site as to
what happens or needs to happen when this system is used.
Again, those road force readings must be below a certain number
of pounds
or the point of the whole proceedure is for nothing.
When they find the bad wheel or wheels, what did the tech
do to correct the problem, and above all else, was it fixed?
In many cases, it has been reported that no matter what the tech tried, there was
no way to correct the problem without those bad Michelins being replaced.
Yes, bad tires, and Michelin does know about this and Michelin
is replacing those tires that were evidently from a bad batch.
 
Good luck.

So did you in fact keep your appointment and take it in to the Cheby dealer and
did they, using their Hunter GSP9700 balancing system, correct your problem?

Hey, thanks for asking. They did the road force balanceat the Chevy dealership. I wish I could say it fixed it, but there are still a couple of speeds where the car feels "jittery". I wish I could explain it better.
 
  For contrast, I drove my 2002 Stratus R/T (not known for a smooth ride) and our 2001 Town and Country Van. The Azera is smoother, except for a couple of speeds where it just seems to be uneasy. It seems I read somewhere that it might be an issue where the Tranny bolts to the engine. Whatever it is, it is still there.
 
   I have no idea as to what to do next. Any advice would be appreciated.

Just purchased a 2008 azera limited with the ultimate nav pkg. Have read a lot of info about front end problems. My azera was built on 12/21/07. This appears to have some significance as to the struts, and also ride characteristics. Just purchased rubber mats in a beautiful gray (weathertech) and had the windows tinted for the HOT FLORIDA sun. It looks great. I only have 300 miles on it. Great ride so far. Would appreciate any tips on what problems , if any, that I should beware of. Thanks in advance for any info.

Congratulations.
 
Since your new 2008 Azera is what I would call a late 2008, you have got the latest shocks,
front part number 54611-3L640 which evidently were installed beginning 10/20/07.
 
No one I know of has been 5K miles yet on these newest shocks,
so it will be interesting to see if these newest shocks hold up.
 
You will know even before 5K miles as yours may (I hope not!) go South as all but the original early
2006 MYs have done. Evidently Azeras built prior to Dec. 05, 2005 had good shocks and did
not experience any problems like the cars built from Dec. 05, 2005 to Oct. 20, 2007.
 
Please let us know how your late 2008 Azera holds up in this department.
 
I cannot wait until someone gets 5K miles or more on these latest shocks and reports no porposing
problems
as many have experienced with cars built from Dec. 05, 2005 through Oct. 20, 2007.
 
I expect that you will not have any problems with your new late Azera.

I just purchased a 2008 azera limited from coconut creek hyundai in florida. It is pearl gray mettalis ( 2009 color ) It has the ultimate pkg. including the NAV. and floor mats. Out the door including prep, sales tax. tags and d.c. fee was $27,500. The car rides beautiful. I only have 300 miles on it. So far, none of the dredded front end problems. Apparently the production date has a lot to do with the suspension componets. My azera was built on 12/21/07. Let me know how your's is. Thanks
