2011 Hyundai Accent issues, problems in general

[engwan]

Hi,

How high / low is your front bumper ground clearance?

I feel like mine is too low and it's very close to scraping those tire stoppers in parking lots. I'm not sure if this is normal.

errr... is your bumper a standard bumper? baka na-modify na, kaya mababa..

Nope, all stock. I'll try to post a picture later today.

What could cause this lowering? Suspension?

one other possibility is... the tire stoppers in there are taller than what you have been previously used to..
ngayon, kapag sumasayad ka pa sa SM tire stoppers...

Guys hingi lng ako ng suggestions. Naglagay ako ng isang 12inch subwoofer s koche ko, mlkas sya bumayo tska mgnda tunog nya ksi sealed ung baffle ko. Ngaun, may mga nginig or garalgal na tumutunog s trunk or back seat pg mlkas n ung sound. Ano kya dpt gawin or ilagay? Hyundai accent 2014 sedan low end ung koche ko. Thanks

Kapag nangyayari 'to, try mo diinan yung ceiling / headliner (takip sa bubong) na sasakyan mo. If tumigil ang garalgal, most likely nandun yung cause. Common issue to I believe. Check mo rin yung mga seat belt holsters if tumatama sa isa't-isa. Worst case baka kailangan mo palagyan ng flashband or sound deadening.

If you're on 14" rims most likely sayad talaga yan. Maliit ground clearance ng unit natin on those stock rims.

Many wheel stops are about 150 mm high. If you park facing the wheel stops, make sure that you satisfy this ground clearance specially in fully loaded condition.

To those who still have issue with the rear suspension of your accent, ipapalit nyo na sa suki nyong casa (via warranty) Hehe! Ang sarap ng feeling idrive after mapalitan yung shock absorber sa likod. Parang mas naging 'solid' yung feeling ng sasakyan. Hindi na bouncy lalo na sa mga humps!

Took the loop to have my unit serviced outside case - from the usual 5 - 10K for basic maintenance, 2K na lang! Intriguingly mas okay pa takbo ng makina ko ngayon. Epekto ng walang napapala sa warranty kundi grasa at grasa ng piyesa. lol

San ka nagpa-PMS sir?

Im not sure lang sa mga latest models, but sa mga 2011-2013 model siguro? actually 2012 model yung sakin sir. But based sa mga nakausap kong technician, malambot nga daw talaga yung shock absorber ng accent dati (pertaining parin sa model nung sakin). At marami na daw silang napalitan na shocks. Kasi marami na nga daw nagrereklamo na bumabagsak kagad kapag may sakay sa likod, or tumatama kapag may humps. I think it's a known issue talaga ng accent. Pero ngayon thicker na yung shocks na kinabit. At maffeel mo talaga yung difference lalo na kapag may humps na nadaanan.

I think si sir batang_raon could also attest to this. Nagpost narin sya na nakapagpalit na sya ng shocks sir

Yup yung sa akin pinalitan not really dahil sa pagiging bouncy niya, pero dahil tumutunog siya tuwing dumadaan sa humps yung likod na gulong. You will need to seat at the back to hear it. Yung pinalit comes from the 2014 model, medyo mas stiff ito compared sa original na na-release for 2011 kaya in terms of cornering tama si nowitzki41, mas "solid" ang feel.

Nonetheless, bouncy pa rin Inherent yan sa unit natin dahil sa spring, compromise for ride comfort ng passenger as they say. Aside sa new face-lifted model na na-release na sa India (yung binago ang front bumper, hood, headlights, grill, etc.), lahat ng Accent RB model dito will still have that bouncy rear suspension kahit palitan pa yung shocks.

Gas station lang paps - Caltex along EDSA southbound right before mag-Evangelista / Bangkal. Doon na kasi pinapa-service ng father ko yung Lancer niya na lampas na sa warranty sa casa. Ok naman, tapat yung mekaniko kahit may tindahan din sila ng piyesa doon. Sa casa halimbawa yung air filter ko deretso palit yan, sa kanila ininspect muna. Noong nakitang halos bago pa at kaunti lang dumi, binugahan na lang instead of palitan na agad - inadvise na lang ako na iinspect na lang ulit nila next 5K interval ko.

Is this inherited issue sa lahat? can you state yung bouncy problems?
