Shocks for Late 2006/2007 Sonatas

Suspension of the Sonata is one of the worst I have seen.

I do find it a bit jarring over railroad tracks and the like, but on the streets and highway, not a problem. At highway speeds, it is rather solid.

tires.....what tires at what psi. 17" low aspect ratio tires at 36 pounds or

16 " tourers at 28 lbs???? makes all the difference.......I think there is some trolling going on here.

Good point. In my case, the 17" at factory pressure of 30 psi. I have no reason to increase that. Handles too good to screw around with and I only cross the RR tracks maybe once a week.

Sales hold? They won't sell/deliver a car until the shocks, that have been use for a long time already, are replaced? That does not seem likely unless Hyundai is doing things different than Detroit ever did.

What happened to the old "move it off the lot and let the dealer fix it later attitude?" :)

I own a Sonata 2006. And being quite happy with the fact that it feels inside pretty much like my Camry 2004 V6, even with a I4 engine, and

6000 buck less paid for it. But I am always amazed at how rough and unrefined the suspension is. What makes it even more obvious is that on smooth road the car seems to float noiselessly. It's not only that the suspension is noisy like hell even for the smallest crack in the asphalt, but it shakes you too.

oh, yeah, trolling, sweet fist in the mouth of those who don't agree with you.

My V6 is 3 months old, and the ride has always been as smooth as silk. I do get an annoying low frequency rumble from the rear of the vehicle when at slowish speeds over rougher road surfaces. I don't understand why there are complaints about jarring, I've never experienced this. Reading around the forums, there is a fix for the suspension problem now. Funnily enough, although the whole world recognises the problem, and Hyundai have issued a fix kit, the principle dealer, service manager and servicing technician at my dealership claimed not to be able to hear the noise :o) However, I have to give Hyundai the thumbs-up. They've agreed to correct the problem and the customer service has been second to none. My previous Sonata (2002-2007) was perfect, and I had no cause for complaint or back-up service. cheers, nn

It's true. They cite a possible rattling issue. As far as the salesman not knowing, most salesmen know nothing having to do with service.

If you could look back until Marchyou would find I askedif they were back to putting "solid tires" on the new Sonata !! HARD tires and if you go over a speed bump in the parking lot over 3MPH you get the jolt! 17 inch HARD tires 30 lbs psi. Only complaint about the ccar except for the

25MPG highway

My average is 23.5, but all highway at 70 to 75 mph I'm 26 to 27 mpg.
