Hyundai Sonata rear end noise?

Question

2006 Sonata LX V-6 since new has a clunking noise in rear when going at slow speed over bumps. Sounds like loose/worn bushing or bad shocks. Dealer says all is okay. Any ideas?

Answer 1

Take it to the dealer. There is a campain for rear struts that should be done before the car is sold its called a t28 campain, we replaced both rear struts

Answer 2

there is not any such element as a RWD Sonata. Hyundai has no plans to launch a RWD Sonata interior the destiny that i understand of. the recent 2010 Sonata would be a FWD platform. you could, whether, get a M/T Sonata (in case you could). yet resale fee would be lots greater helpful on the A/T

Answer 3

Sounds like a common problem,sway bar bushings,you can replace these yourself,all you need is a ratchet an extension and a 12 or a 14mm socket.

Answer 4

Best way I think is to call the service center in California. You can find it on Hyundaiusa.com. I had to fight with a Hyundai deal before and I called the service center in California and it helped. Asked them what you need to do and tell them you concern.

Answer 5

My Hyundai Sonata never have a such a noise.
Hyundai car's silence much better than other car.
it is true.

Answer 6

you should call your dealer again there is a new service bulitin out on the the noise there is and updated strut to correct the concern

Answer 7
