sta fe problem

i have a 2006 sta fe crdi. it has been going back to the casa several times in the last 6 months to correct a loud knocking sound on left front suspension. dealer said they replaced front shocks and made adjustmenys on pre load of the rack and pinion. sad to say they havent corrected it up to now. anybody else experiencing the same problems on their sta fe?

hyundai commonwealth. in fairness to them inaasikaso naman hindi lang nila mahanap ang problema. knocking sound is on the left side only and malakas talaga. i think it really is a suspension problem thats similar to the knocking sound of the early starex models suspension. Parang mahina yata pang ilalim ng sta fe. if only this problem would be fixed, the sta fe is a damn good vehicle!

Can you describe further the problem?

At what speed does it happen? When turning? Even on a straight line? Braking?

How many times have you brought it in, exactly?

When does the knocking occur? What speed? Turning, accelerating, braking? Over what surface does it occur? Rough, smooth? Large bumps or small bumps?

Is it a rhythmic knocking that increases with speed? Is it a one-time knock that occurs over bumps?

Naku. naloko na.

Bakit ngayon lang to lumabas kung kailan nag-down na ako sa bangko for a Sup Red Sta Fe. puwede pa kaya ko magpa-change unit.

i don't have sta. fe ... but on our starex, the knocking noise came from the brake caliper pin, a good greasing will fix it. hth

mukang mahina talaga pang-ilalim ng sta fe. incomparable to our Ford Explorer or even Honda CRV. iba talaga tunog nya pag nalulubak eh parang may masisira kagad 3 years from now. what can we expect, the Sta Fe is built for the developed countries like Europe and US. duon taken for granted na ang good roads, di tulad dito sa Pilipinas "extraordinary" talaga ang roads, as in one of kind

so to those planning to buy a Sta Fe pero gusto nyo na talaga rugged SUV better get the Fortuner or Alterra or CRV. para na din mabawas-bawasan sta fe sa kalsada, nawawala exclusivity namin eh
