sta fe problem

[chi827]

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?

[oldblue]

nope no probs like that

[rion]

does the knocking sound occurs only at idle?

which casa?

[chi827]

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!

[mazdamazda]

Can you describe further the problem?

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

[niky]

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.

[kinyo]

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

As I have made up my mind to buy an SF for my wife this month suddenly, some eleventh hour tale of woes just sprang up. I told my wife to do a test drive and she did. What she observed on the negative side was that there is some kind of "lumalagabug" sound in the rear part of the vehicle kapag na lubak or passing by a crack on a concrete road. She seemed so overwhelmed with the car's positive attributes except this lumalagabug sound. She asked the SA why the loud thund and she was told that it is just normal as the tire pressure may be a bit higher than normal. This, however doesn't convince me. Ok granted, so may I address this question to SF owners, at what optimum tire pressure in the rear it should be na ma suppress ang sound kapag nalubak or in case I have to go for it, do I have to replace it with another tyre kasi baka naman ang stock is not really that good.

[BlueBimmer]

stock tires are Kumho..baka 35+ psi tire pressure ng showroom units?

[Horsepower]

i set the pressure to 32psi but the best ride is 28psi.

Baka naman you go so fast over potholes. You should drive normally even during a test drive, never speed up on potholes, kahit anong sasakyan pa yan, suspension will suffer or worse, the mags will get bent.

on approach of potholes, brake smoothly, as you go over the pothole, then speed up smoothly. I doubt you will hear that kalampag ever again. It's probably the tools anyway.

the lumalagabug sound is normal. parang sira ang tunog no? ganyan na yan since noon bago pa Sta. Fe ko. wala sa gulong yan. i've tried everything ganun talaga tunog nya

mahirap makipagsalaran kungdi di kayo 100% sure sa bibilhin nyo. I suggest try other cars na lang to have peace of mind.

[C190]

i. dealer said they replaced front shocks and made adjustmenys on pre load of the rack and pinion.

did they show you the busted shock?

For my curiousity sake, ano po diagnose at ano po ginawa sa Sante Fe n'yo?
