2006 Sonata 3.3 V6 replace struts

morabors · 11-08-2012, 09:41 PM

I need to replace the front struts on the Sonata (140,000) and rubber mount is shot. Does anyone have an opinion as to what else I might check/change while replacing the struts? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

70 peeks and no advice?

Check upper/lower control arm bushings as well as sway bar bushings. Also check rubber CV boots for cracking/damage, which is usually accompanied by grease splattered around the inside of the wheel well.

You may want to order some new sway bar end links as well. Many times the stockers will get seized on there and you have to cut them off. Moog is a good brand.
