I am experiencing some noise that sounds like some play in a coupling when I driving over uneven road surfaces . I can actually feel the little "knock" on the steering so I suspect there is some play somewhere in the steering system. It does not happen all the time but when it happens it is when there is a differential movement of the front wheels i.e. one wheel going through a dip and the other not etc. Anyone else experiencing this?

nope, sounds like your problem is that you bought a ltd and not a SE.

LOL Before the Sonata was released in Canada I actually told the sales person that he should put a SE aside for me, only to learn that the SE will not be available in Canada

My Limited does not do that. Have it checked out.

My problem is that the conditions for it to happen are still a bit vague so I will have to find the conditions to replicate it 100% before taking it in. I suspect some play in the steering box - it is a rack an pinion is it not?

I thought the new Hyundai's were drive by wire?

i get a thud/clunk in my steering wheel over very rough pavement. I chalked it up to a characteristic of the car..
if it gets worse thats a different story.

I know the type of sound you are referring to, and have experienced it with a couple FWD cars in the past, but not the Sonata.

I can feel the same thing when I hit big bumps like rail tracks or uneven pavement. It feels like there is something loose in the steering. I am monitoring it and if it gets worse I will take it in for the dealer to look at.

Yes, I have the same noise. Concerning because my previous (Volvo) made this noise after 125K ;-)

It's oddly comforting they "all do that" since i'm sure that's what the dealer will tell me.

Even if they all do it, aleast make them tell you where it is coming from.

mine does it....actually the 07 azera i test drove did it (when it was brand new), the 2009 sonata v6 that i drove did it (with 40k) but the genesis sedan didn't....
