Alignment checks are recommended after suspension repairs or every 30,000 miles to ensure optimal handling and tire longevity.

Q3

How do I replace the front struts on a 2002-2005 Hyundai XG350?

To replace front struts, safely lift the vehicle and remove the wheel. Disconnect the sway bar link and brake line bracket. Support the lower control arm, then remove the strut mounting bolts. Compress the spring using a strut compressor, remove the strut assembly, and transfer components to the new strut. Reinstall in reverse order and perform an alignment.

Q4

What are common suspension issues in the 2002-2005 Hyundai XG350?

Common issues include worn struts or shocks, leading to a bumpy ride, uneven tire wear, or poor handling. Noisy suspension may indicate worn bushings or ball joints. Diagnose by inspecting components for damage, checking for fluid leaks, and testing for excessive play. Replace faulty parts and ensure proper alignment after repairs.

Q5

How can I optimize the suspension performance of my 2002-2005 Hyundai XG350?

Upgrade to high-performance shocks and struts for better handling. Use lowering springs or coilovers for improved stability and aesthetics. Regularly inspect and maintain suspension components. Ensure proper tire inflation and alignment. Consider adding a strut tower brace for enhanced rigidity and cornering performance.
