I am actually sad to say I'm giving up on my 1990 Sonata. Over
414,000 miles. I'd say we got our money's worth!! It was still in service back in March when we bought the new 2008. Used the two in parallel for only 3-4 weeks when the old one blew a head gasket. Took me until now to throw in the towel. I could fix it, of course, but there is a list of reasons why not to. The new car is a base model, but I tell you - try upgrading by 18 model years sometime and you'll think you're in a new Mercedes!Enough about that.
I do the evilbay thing and see there isn't any demand for these old parts, so I"m not going to bother listing them. I have some new stuff, and some good used stuff that I would like to give to anyone who is still running a 1990 (probably '89 too) Sonata. Just pay for the shipping. If you are local (Maryland zip 21742) , you are welcome to pick up. Here is a short list off the top of my head, there is more:
-reman power steering rack, still in the box
-new pair of struts, pretty sure for the front, would have to look
-various new OEM seals (crank, cam, balance shaft)
-some used but usable clutch frictions for the KM175
-some new KM175 seals
-might be a new ball joint, I usually kept one on hand
-etc.
Let me know if there is any interest. I send stuff out via UPS all the time. Send me your address and I'll get you a shipping quote. Note: as you can imagine, this is not my top priority. So please don't expect same day service! :-) If anyone replies, I'll take a walk back to the shop and email you a more thorough list of the used stuff.
