What Causes the Chassis Noise When the Elantra Drives on Bumpy Roads?
1 Answers
The reason for the chassis noise when the Elantra drives on bumpy roads is the aging of a certain rubber bushing in the chassis. Aging of Bushings: If the rubber bushings in the chassis show signs of aging, it can cause the entire chassis to loosen, increasing the play between various components. This leads to more noise from the chassis when driving on uneven surfaces, reducing the driving experience and vehicle comfort. Bushing Replacement Cycle: Rubber products have a limited lifespan and will age over time. Generally, the rubber bushings in the chassis need to be replaced every 2 to 3 years of vehicle use, but the exact timing depends on whether any issues arise. If the vehicle experiences unusual noises or severe vibrations, the rubber bushings in the chassis suspension should be inspected. Precautions for Bushing Replacement: When replacing bushings, it is recommended to visit a professional workshop or an authorized 4S store and use genuine OEM parts.
