I find it interesting reading about all the problems several people have with the Azera. My 07 ( built Nov 06) at over 30,000 miles runs just fine with NO suspension problems . I had an XG350 limited and also had no problems with it.
The Azera has much better road manors the the XG and I get much better gas mileage (averaging 26.9 mpg) Thats for the 30K miles......
As you can see I don't drive this car with my foot pushed down to the floor :=)

I had the same type of problem on my '07 Azera. After many trips and a lot of attempts to find a cause they replaced what they called the "upper strut mount" on both front struts. This as solved the problem and it now rides like a lexus and is quite over rough roads. The dealer is Edwards Hyundai in Council Bluffs,IA. Service person is Josh. Hopes this will help.

Yes, I believe so.
 
This is a more common aftermarket offering on performance cars, where the coil-over style of shock is ideal for manually adjusting the ride height (usually lowering it for that "slammed" look). In the Azera's case, there's a brand available that does offer this option and another that does not.

Interesting that there are always NEW people complaining about Genesis or Azera suspension/ride, but the same people always respond and attack them. Regardless, Consumer Reports did pick the Genesis as number one in its class, but commented negatively three times about the ride in its review. Also, in their April issue, they stated one of the negatives of Hyundai cars was the suspension.
   Furthermore, please see http://consumerguideauto.howstuffworks.com/2009-hyundai-genesis-1.htm, particularly the ratings chart and the comments from professional reviewers.

Interesting this is all you can cotribute post after post, never mind the insinuation about others who didn't agree with what you wanted to see.

I purchased a 2007 Azera and shipped it to Korea, It rides great on the roads here because, like you said, the roads are rough.

Don't know about others including yourself, but those of us that do own an Azera and are
not happy with the suspension have every right to gripe about it as often as we like.
 
There are indeed those who are content with the ride, and that is fine as far as I
am concerned. If they like the wallowing, porpusing and unsafe bobbing about
from lack of proper jounce and rebound control, that's fine with me!
 
Professional testers have commented on the poor suspension numerous
times, so I leave it up to them. For me, I am not happy with our Azera.
We suffer from it's ride every time we go anywhere.
 
Won't be suffering for too much longer according to my Lemon Law Attorney.

I'd guess you don't read bob's posts often.
 
He comes off pleading his case as if he's been somehow trying to provide objective info to those seeking them, yet the suspension has been the only item he has posted, post after post. He has referred to his sources as authoritative, yet those sources have provided both the positive and the negative. Any backside agenda aside, if he was trying to be objective, then he would have provided both sides of the story.
 
Yes, I understand the suspension is not a strong suit of Hyundai vehicle; I also understand the fact any cars built by humans are not always perfect, and this applies to all brands, so yes, certain owners may get bad apples, and that is very unfortunate. Still, I believe Hyundai's suspension system is at least adequate for the intent of its vehicles. I haven't driven an Azera in a while but have had many hours of seat time in the Genesis - of course it doesn't handle like a 5er, and I didn't expect to, for a luxury sedan and all. FWIW, most professional mags have commented similarily. As for the Azera, I've found it to be a better Buick, and that was exactly what I expected going in (most of the cars in the class drives like that).
 
Certainly there are improvements Hyundai can make, no doubt.
