Thanks in advance.

Master, suspension bushing nga yan if pareho tayo ng naging issue. I have already replaced a lot of suspension part in my Tucson Petrol 4x2 M/t. Bushings, Balljoints at tierods. Only OEM parts and no 555 et al. And yet mukhang hindi nawawalan ng kalampag at lalabas na bago. Halos 4 years old pa lang siya. My 2002 XTO crosswind naman eh isang balljoint pa lang ang napapalitan for a compasiron. I've asked Wheelers Suspension house(Highly recommended dito) in Banawe and they have this remark..."Ganun talaga Hyundai boss, medyo mahina ang pangilalim".

Chief, magkano inabot ng paayos mo sa Tucson mo?
So far, wala pa namang kalampag, napansin ko nga lang na matagtag at sideways ang galaw.

Aware naman ako beforehand na mahina pang-ilalim ng mga Korean cars kaya accepted ko na . . . basta safe at di ako ititirik sa alanganin . . . tapos overloaded pa lagi he he he . . . 2 typical filipino adults, 2 small adults, 2 kids, isang kabang bigas at sangkaterbang groceries :-)

Hindi ko na matandaan ang price ng front suspension bushings. Alam ko isang set yun. Inutusan ko kasi yung utol ko na siya ang bumili sa Banawe. Pero ako na ang nagpakabit sa Wheelers.

So far, ang napalitan pa lang sa Tucsy ko is suspension bushings, 2 tie rods(akshuli isa lang ang sira pero pinagsabay ko na) at right ball joint.

Medyo may kamahalan nga lang ang parts ng Hyundai compare sa Japanese counterparts nito.

Im not complaining but the for its price and features eh solved na ako kaysa sa CRV. Or baka hindi lang kaya ng Tucson ang driving habit ko. hehehehe

Baklas sir ang dashboard nyan, at least yan ginawa sa akin. Sa las Pinas area ok sa CJ halos tapat ng uniwide mall. Dyan ako na pa check ng AC sa tucson pero di nagawa kasi ang problema ay yung thermistor, wala sila noon at may warranty pa ang unit ko so advixe nila dalhin sa casa, di nila ako pinabayad sa diagnostic service nila.

Tungkol sa pang ilalim na problema ng mga brother natin. So far except sa changed four tires wala pa akong napalitan sa pang ilalim ng 2007 tucson ko. Wala pa ring experience ng bad ride & suspension noise. Yung rack & pinion assy lang pinalitan noong mag leak pero under warranty so walang rin akong binayaran

Needless to say na happy & satisfied ako dito sa about 60K KM odometer 1st gen tucs.

Greetings! My girlfriend owns a 2008 tucson CRDi. she got it pre owned. did all tucsons come with Code Alarm security systems? and if yes, how can i reset it?

**copperone** · February 13th, 2012 10:15 PM

I own a 2007 Tucson CRDi and just had it serviced for 80t km. So far the unit has not given me any problem. Fuel consumption ranges from 10.5 - 13km/li. I diligently follow its servicing schedule every 5t km. It does 100kph just below 3000rpm and it still can do 150kph easy. The only major repair it underwent was replacement of cracked windshield which was covered by insurance. The only complain I have is the painting quality...poor and prone to small bubble formation and chipping.
