#47 of 48 old news by targettuning Mar 06, 2008 (7:21 am)
That 2006 -07 and I guess 08 Sonata's have noisy suspensions is old news in as much as there have been posts here and Hyundai has issued a TSB to correct or minimize REAR suspension "thunks" on 2006 cars. There now seems to be FRONT suspension noise classified by some owners to be a "thunk". I have been following a specific owners process using a Hyundai repair facility to remove his front noise and the latest on that front, as reported recently, is that the front strut cartridges or inserts have been changed. This minimized but did not eliminate it.  I do not agree with your service advisor about either comment he made: that a "sport suspension" is inherently noisier than the "normal" version on the same car or that a V-6 being heavier (it may be but it is minimal) would cause one not to have the noise. I personally have recently rented both I-4 and V-6 versions of the GLS model. These were 2007's and having ~26,000 rental miles were hard used vehicles. I don't know if I am insensitive or what but driving both cars over temporary "winter patched" repairs on generally poor Pa roads I MAY have heard some suspension noise on the worst parts. Would this noise have been apparent if I was driving a Camry, Accord or some other brand car? I suspect so but don't know for sure. I have come to the tentative conclusion that individual owner sensitivity to noises may play a part in this "problem".

Replying to: shadow26 (Mar 06, 2008 6:01 am) I would have the dealer replace the front struts and go from there. It may solve your problem. If they want to do something for free let them.
