2011 Sonata Turbo - Struts recommendation
Hey!
Looking for Strut replacement recommendations for 2011 Sonata 2.0T. I'd like to use a quick strut if possible and do the work myself, as the dealer quoted 1K for just the fronts. |
I have had good experience with Monroe strut assemblies.

Just a reminder,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
After strut replacement a front end alignment is required to prevent questionable performance and tire wear problems. |

Looking into a bit further, I believe I have the Sport Suspension - looking at the site, it indicates these won't work with sport suspensions..
thoughts? Get the dealer prices for the individual parts that make up a strut: Strut (damper only), strut mount, dust boot, isolators (rubber rings for the springs), springs. An independent garage can reassemble a strut for you at a much lower cost than the dealer is asking. Also check with the major auto parts stores for Monroe, KYB, and maybe Gabriel brands. |
Get the oem part numbers for the struts to cross reference the aftermarket equivalent. The sport suspension doesn't just have a different dampening rate it sits slightly lower due to a difference in spring height meaning piston stroke of the cartridge is different. You don't want to mix them up as it will cause it to be a stiff ride and potentially cause damage. 2011 models are even trickier for aftermarket front suspension parts because the whole thing was redesigned mid model year. Early production used a full front subframe and late production use the now common K frame found on all new hyundais. The struts for each are not interchangeable
