That drumbeat in the rear

Thank god for the internet! A year ago, after taking delivery of our new 06 V6 LX, it was returned almost immediately to the dealer with a complaint about undercarriage noise. After a brief drive: "normal."
It is my wife's car, and I literally had not driven it for a year, until this past weekend. We attended an event in Berkeley, with its quite-terrible roads; the drumbeat was loud and dismaying. Only today did I find this forum, discovering that the problem is a widely-shared one. Tomorrow I will take a number of the above posts with me when I speak to the service manager again. I expect the outcome to be dramatically different this time.
I am grateful to you all.

2007 GLS I4 with 16" steel wheels

Is the 2007 GLS I4 with 16" steel wheels has bad rear shocks or not? The ride is noisy over pumps but over smooth asphalt pavement it is very quiet.

I have tried to look at the TSB for the K-thump noise (06-01-011)on HMA service but been unable to find. Anybody got an idea what I might be doing wrong?

Try this link......you will find the TSB there. This doesn't apply to the 2.4L with 16" wheels.

2007 Sonata Limited Ultimate K thump

Thanks for the link, craigbrooks. I am kind of confused now. I go to the Hyundai website, to the www.hmaservice.com website, log in and am using Internet Explorer. I then go to Service Information and then to TSB. Nowhere under Campaign Bulletins is TSB 06-01-011 listed. There is a 06-01-003 and then it skips to 06-01-014. I am wondering what the absence of 06-01-011 means? Is it maybe not viewable by the public, only the dealership or is it that the TSB expired or maybe Hyundai has pulled it? This kind of concerns me because I am in the process of trying to get my dealer to do the shock absorber change as per the TSB. Any further information on this TSB would be very helpful in working with the dealership on this.

I seem to have essentially the same problem as does aauummm. Armed (I thought) with several of the previous postings from above, I talked today with the service manager at the dealership from which the car was purchased (an 06 V6 LX). He admitted nothing. The car goes in next Monday for a road test; any assistance/advice any of you out there can provide during the next several days will be truly appreciated.
To craigsbrook: I found the TSB by using your link. It appears to me that this applies to 07s. Am I wrong?
Many thanks.

Yes it applies to the 07's. Those with 06's who have had them fixed have complained to the dealer until they were blue and wore them down. Some dealers were glad to step up to the plate and do the fix while others just drug their feet. Can anyone out there who has had the fix help these guys out?
The link was not mine. It was provided by a very kind gentleman in one of the Hyundai forums.

I'm at work now ... I'll scan the TSB pages and post it on my website. Latter today will give you the link.
Print it and show to dealer .. it helped me alot.
In my case 'SE 2007' the dealer didn't argue much after showing him the TSB. He ordered the part.
Will keep you posted when susp. are installed

I have an 06 LX6 as well as an 06 Azera Limited. I had absolutely no problem getting the rear shocks replaced at my dealer. In fact a few other 06 owners who couldn't get satisfaction with their dealer called my dealer and it was done. The dealer is Hyundai of Westchester in Yonkers, NY. I am not sure if I can mention the service manager's first name here (can I Pat?). In any case you can relate the fact that there are other dealers and mine in particular that are doing the fix without any pressure whatsoever. I will admit though don't expect a totally silent ride over a washboard surface. The car simply has a somewhat noisy suspension ( Consumer's Report) and maybe Hyundai has to make some changes to the suspensions. My service manager did say that part of the problem are the 17" wheels which were chosen by engineering for appearance sake and that 16" wheels would be less likely to be as noisy. Trade-off with having low profile, high performance tires. All in all my Sonata is a very good riding car.
