Q3 How do I replace the struts on a 2020-Present Hyundai Sonata?
How do I replace the struts on a 2020-Present Hyundai Sonata?
To replace the struts on a Hyundai Sonata, begin by safely lifting the vehicle and removing the wheels. Disconnect the sway bar link and brake line bracket. Use a spring compressor to safely remove the strut assembly. Install the new strut, ensuring all bolts are torqued to the manufacturer's specifications. Reassemble the components and perform a wheel alignment to ensure proper handling and tire wear.
Q4 What should I do if my Hyundai Sonata suspension makes unusual noises?
What should I do if my Hyundai Sonata suspension makes unusual noises?
Unusual noises from the suspension, such as clunking or squeaking, often indicate worn or damaged components. Start by inspecting the struts, shocks, and bushings for signs of wear. Check for loose bolts or damaged mounts. If the issue persists, consult a professional technician for a detailed inspection. Common solutions include replacing worn parts or tightening loose components.
