Thanks Sirs Rmolivar and Boybit for the replies. Those words are reassuring. Kasi except for the noise at startup I don't have any other complaint with my Elantra. :thankyou:

Looks like the Elantra has too soft rear suspension, tried to speed up a bit at the humps with 3 kids at the back, felt the back spring and shocks reaching its limits (felt a 'thug'). Appreciate your comments if you have a similar experience, thanks.

Hmm . . . already tried overloading my Elantra with 2 typical pinoy adults, 2 small adults and 2 kids . . . back and forth Tagaytay-Mendez-Indang route . . . so far, di naman ako nag-bottom out sa Humps . . . although dahan dahan na ako pagdating sa humps, mapa tucson or elantra . . . dati kasi e nakaranas na akong lumipad sa humps yung luma kong Lancer hehehe

What I'm curious to see is how it fare sa mga "valley" wherein full speed ka pababa, then sudden plateu sa baba . . . ang tendency kasi noon e idakdak ang suspension . . . especially pag loaded . . .

This is the real test ng suspension sa likod kung mag-bubottom out. Yung humps di masyado...

i think you'll get the same result no matter what kind of sedan you use if you do what you just described.

I was comparing it to my other car which is a VIOS, not similar though. Maybe I can attribute it to the wheelbase, front suspension can help stabilize the overall "bottom-out" of the car. Elantra's wheelbase is kinda longer so all forces of gravity is more on the back if do this hump thing. Just my 2 cents!

At what speed did you negotiate the hump that caused the bottoming out? Sa new accent kasi maximum speed 10kph lang or else mag bottom out na. And depende pala sa humps, yung sa mga village humps medyo maganda pagkakagawa and maganda ang pagka slope so halos hindi nag bottom out accent ko kahit loaded. Pero may mga humps na abrupt yung pagka slope, dyan sa klaseng humps na yan siguradong bottom out accent ko. I never experienced bottoming out om uneven slopes sa road, yung daan sa likod ng st lukes coming from scout chuatoco grabe pagka slope nun pero hindi nag bottom out.
