The power tilt and telescope gives you a lot more variation in where to place the steering wheel. Of course, it is a decision for you to make. Enjoy it. |

So with all the discussion on the suspension issues and too soft springs problems the last few years in the Azera, does anyone know if the issue has been corrected in the 2009 version? Bud H

Replying to: budh (Sep 07, 2008 12:29 am)  We believe that this issue has been corrected starting with the late 2008 models which were produced beginning 10/20/07 and later. Any changes were to the shocks only, and nothing else. Both front and rear shocks were changed to numbers ending in 640. A few of us have changed the front shocks to these latest parts, and that change has made a big difference. One person even changed the rear shocks also. One person who had changed his front shocks believed that the front springs needed to be made stiffer and I thought about doing this also until I got the new shocks, but have since decided not to do so because ours would then ride too stiffly.  Hyundai has definitively made a big difference with these new shocks. Not only are they better programmed, but we think that the newer shocks will hold up better in the long run, something that some of the older shocks were not doing. In many cases with cars produced prior to 10/20/07, the original shocks plus the TSB replacement shocks have failed in as little as 5,000 miles or in some cases even sooner. That is why a few of us have changed to the later parts. No one I know of has experinced any problems with these latest parts. Write to me privately if you need more information and I will explain further.   Delfin

With all the posts on suspension problems with the Azera, I am pleased to hear that Hyundai has apparently (and finally) corrected this situation, starting with the late '08 models and continuing into the 09's. Does this mean that the soft handling has been stiffened up to the point where the ride is now a little more on the sport side than prior to this change, or is this just elimating the clunking problem. Can you pls elaborate in more detail on this issue. I have been seriously considering buying an Azera but have been turned off by the suspension problems. Everything else about the car appears to be first rate except for this. I'm posting this message rather than writing to you privately since I'm sure there are others others out there who would like additional info on this "fix". Does anyone else have a comment on this apparent fix on the Azera suspension problem? This could help Hyundai sell more Azeras. A pretty sharp car otherwise. Thanks, cbar34

Any idea which model year will be the next major revision to the Azera?

Replying to: cbar34 (Sep 13, 2008 12:21 pm) There are undoubtably a few people who have experienced some front suspension problems, but IMO, the vast majority of Azera owners ( myself included ) are quite satisfied with the suspension. The springs are soft for a smooth ride, so it doesn't handle like a sports sedan - if you want crisp handling look elsewhere. Try to ignore your preconception of " suspension problems ", and take it, along with any other cars on your list, for a long test drive on roads you frequently travel. You may be surprised. |
