RE: Sonata rear noise- Rear Shock Replacement
does this apply to 2006 sonatas as well
Will this effect the 2007 4 cyl model too?

RE: Sonata rear noise- Rear Shock Replacement
This problem is not unique to the 09 V6 model, plus I believe it isa front and rear suspension problem or the tires. I just leased an 09 GLS 4cyl. when I test drove a similar model I did not hear or feel this problem. Also, when I took delivery of my car, the tires had an air pressure of 43 PSI. I lowered the pressureto 32PSI, any lower and the TPMS light comes on, which I don't care aboutbecause the car rides better. I had a 10 year old Ford F-150 with 120,000 miles on it that rode better than this car. Except for this problem I like the car alot, but intend to take a run at the dealer. The noise and the jarring ride arereally annoying.I think different tiresmight alsohelp. The car feels like the tires are made of solid rubber.

GDay from Australia - just bought an early 2007 used Sonata NF V6 here with 30,000 miles. I noticed this clunking so GREAT INFO for me to take to dealership tomorrow! Cheers! Gordon (ex Royal Aussie air Force air traffic controller - Captain)

So when should Sonata shocks and struts be replaced?
I guess this could be a new question but please tell me, what is the normal life of shocks and struts on Sonata's? I have nearly 75000 on my Sonata and it drives just fine. I have been having the tires rotated and balanced as well as alignment etc. What do you think?

I bet the car is equipped with "V" rated tires... add in some high pressure gas shocks, and firm springs.... firm ride.. just like a childs little red wagon over the cracks in the sidewalk..
You could put some lower speed rated tires on it, but then the handling may suffer..
