All well and good but we've all probably been victim of "looks good on paper" and then we drive the car and it's a whole other sensation.
 
A skateboard gets excellent ratings on a skidpad I bet.

Actually...I used to ride skateboards in my youth...I wouldn't bank on skidpad #'s from a skateboard!!! LOL
 
I would agree with the looks good on paper statement, but they actually show the cars in action in the videos. In order for them to get those #'s...testing had to be done, so it's not like they are projected #'s.

If they like the wallowing, porpusing and unsafe bobbing about
from lack of proper jounce and rebound control, that's fine with me!

 
I can't say that I would like the sort of symptoms you describe, but my 2006 Azera does not exhibit any of them - at least under the conditions in which it is operated. I see that you live in California, the land of high speed and good roads.
 
Here in Michigan, due to a combination of a cash strapped government and constant thawing and refreezing during the winter, our roads are atrocious. The soft ride of the Azera seems to be designed for these conditions. The previous comments in this blog concerning the roughness of Korean roads shows me where Hyundai gets its priorities for suspension.
 
It just seems odd how some posters here are convinced that we Azera owners who do not have suspension problems are simply too ignorant to see the problems that are so obviously there ( at least to them ). Granted, I do not operate my Azera at extremely high speeds, but up to 80MPH on the freeway it works just fine and is superb on the nasty side roads.

I'm in Ohio and have had the same problem that everyone else has with my 2006 Azera. I got the parts replaced in the fall as suggested by several of the other posters because I had been one who was going back and forth with the dealership. I do not hold anything against those who have not experienced the same problems that many of us have, they were just lucky to not have to experience it. My car seems to be working fine for now.
No I'm not a Buckeye! I'm a Spartan and I'm proud of that.

Hey Allmet, congratulations on your A6.
 
Does this new acquisition replace your Azera? I know you did a lot of terrific mods to it.

Tonycd...the A6 actually replaced the Outlook we had. We needed to scale back a bit. So...the good news is, I still have my Azera!!!
 
Unfortunately, I haven't been able to drive it for almost a month now as the dealer is waiting for the seat heating element to get here from Korea so it can be replaced. They've got me in a loaner (09 Sonata w/I4 engine) and it SUCKS!!! The best thing about the car is the XM radio and the USB connectivity (I have been plugging 2 GB flash drives in and listening to all kinds of music. I tell you, going from my Azera to the Sonata is like going from a Harley to a bicycle! LOL
 
Stay tuned...still more mods to come on the Azera, but at the same time...I've gotta put in some work on fixin up the wife's A6. Nothing over the top, but she wants to shine a little too.

After you change the strut mounts, do they only solve problem or they also solve the bouncing over rough road problem. Thanks

I had a rental 4-banger Sonata, base trim, a few months back. Decent transit capsule sort of a car; the only real irritant was that they seemed to reserve seat padding for the Limited version. Of course, it wasn't a real big performer either.

My azera really never had any problem bouncing on rough roads {and we have plenty of them is Iowa] . Whenever it encountered a rough road or railroad tracks it would act as if there were loose logs bouncing around in the front end. After the fix,the noise is gone.

When you say "after the fix." What did you get fixed that helped out the suspension issue? Is the suspension covered under the 60K warranty?
  I have a 2006 Limited with 45k on it and would love to fix the issue with the "clunking" sound and we also experience the same issue you mentioned about the RR tracks. What did mention to the service writer to check?
 
Thanks in advance.
