    HT or anyone,

    Have you been involved with any of the rear suspension "K-Thunking" problem
    yet? If so, has it been resolved or at least diagnosed?

    On some other forums I monitor, the natives are getting restless!

    Many thanks,,,

    I used to have a k-thunk in the rear of my '74 Delta 88...turned out to be
    the clothes hanger holding up the tail pipe wasn't twisted tight enough.

    Just kidding....bet you're talking about the '06 Sonata. My Sonata has NO
    k-thunk, but I'm sure that Matt will post waxing poetic about the situation.

  3. Had a 2000 Sonata with alot of rear suspension noise. In fact, that year
    in Consumer Reports they even addressed it as a setback in quality. I
    took the problem to the Regional Sales Manager for my area because it
    was so annoying and he decided to give oil filled shocks a try on it. It
    helped considerably . This may or may not be related to your 2006
    Sonata . (only HyundaiTech knows for sure !)

    Are we talking about the 2006 Sonata or something different here?

    I've seen nothing from Hyundai regarding this noise.

    This is very disappointing. The Sonata is a great car but it has
    one rather serious flaw which is preventing me from buying it. The
    front and rear suspensions are much too noisy. At low speeds, i.e
    about 20-35 mph, the smallest bumps become quite noticeable and
    potholes are really loud. I have noticed this on one Sonata 2006 V6
    rental
    and on several test drives of 2006, 4 cylinder models. The V6s appear
    to
    be a bit quieter than the 4 cylinder models.
