Replying to: Mr_Shiftright (Mar 20, 2009 8:19 am) 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. |

Replying to: donna388 (Mar 18, 2009 1:09 pm) 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.

Replying to: allmet33 (Mar 20, 2009 8:06 am) Does this new acquisition replace your Azera? I know you did a lot of terrific mods to it.

Replying to: tonycd (Mar 21, 2009 7:12 pm)  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.

Replying to: newguy6 (Mar 25, 2009 9:33 am) 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. - Jim |

I have posted two messages on the Azera 2008 forum. I am combining and consolidating the posts into a single post on this forum since the subject now concerns the front end suspension issue. Part of post #470 on Azera 2008 forum: I have read Hyundai message boards on Edmunds for all of one day. I am looking at Hyundai for the first time (found good reviews on the Azera) and have much to learn. I found a used 2008 Azera Limited 3.8L (18,000) online at a local non-Hyundai dealership. From your Hyundai warranty experiences, how well does Hyundai stand behind their warranty? All of post #472 on Azera 2008 forum: Update and further questions on the 2008 Hyundai Azera I am considering purchasing from a non-Hyundai dealership. I looked at the build date for the 2008 Azera (on the bottom of the door pillar between the drive’s door and the back seat door). The build date was June 02, 2007 so the Azera is a candidate for the “dreaded front suspension problem” (cars built after 10/20/07 have better quality shock absorbs than those build before 10/20/07). I printed out a copy of TSB 07-50-007 which covers this issue. From what I read in the Hyundai forums the TSB calls for a replacement of an inferior front shock absorber 54611-3L041 with an equally inferior front shock absorber 54611-3L040. I understand the real solution to the problem is to install a better quality front shock absorber 54611-3L640. Do ALL 2008 Hyundai Azera sedans built before 10/20/07 need all four of their shock absorbers upgraded to the new and better quality shock absorbers? I understand the back 2 shock absorbers have different part numbers than the front 2 shock absorbers. Has Hyundai developed a solution to this problem that is available to me if I purchase this vehicle? Do I forget this vehicle or is there a way to purchase the car and get the better shock absorbers (i.e. the 54611-3L640 on the front) installed without any additional cost to me? I am not interested in purchasing a 2008 automobile with existing problems. Any suggestions on how to proceed is appreciated.
