Is the abnormal noise in Beijing Hyundai ix35 a common issue?
2 Answers
Abnormal noise in the Beijing Hyundai ix35 is a common issue. Below is a detailed analysis of the specific causes: 1. Shock absorber abnormality: If the car makes a creaking sound when driving on bumpy roads, it is likely a shock absorber problem, often accompanied by strong body shaking. If the rear noise is outside the car, it might be caused by stones or other foreign objects stuck in the tire tread; if inside the car, it could be from the rear seats. 2. Identifying shock absorber issues: During low-speed driving, when the wheels pass over road bumps, there may be slight vibrations and a dull thudding sound. The noise from shock absorbers differs from other chassis noises, being much duller. If it's the front shock absorber, there will also be noticeable vibration felt on the steering wheel. An experienced driver can accurately identify which suspension is causing the noise. By pressing on the upper part of each wheel's suspension, such as the front and rear fenders, a faulty shock absorber will feel unusually hard to the touch, a symptom of oil leakage in the shock absorber's later stages, which requires an experienced technician to diagnose.
The issue of abnormal noises in the Hyundai ix35 has indeed been reported by many owners of older models. I drove a 2013 model, and after several years, a squeaking sound would come from under the rear seats when going over speed bumps or rough roads. Upon inspection, it was due to the aging and loosening of the suspension link bushings. This doesn’t happen to all vehicles, but many owners on forums have reported similar issues, such as insufficient body rigidity or loose interior components causing noises. In daily driving, try to avoid potholes and rough roads. During regular maintenance, you can tighten chassis bolts or lubricate connecting parts. If the noises become frequent, don’t delay—visit a professional shop early for diagnosis. Fixing minor issues promptly saves money and hassle, preventing them from turning into major faults that could affect safety. The noise can be quite annoying, but most cases can be managed with preventive measures.
