2023 Sonata Steering & Suspension Q&A

• What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in my Hyundai's suspension? Maintaining your tires can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also help you notice when you need new tires. A tire that doesn't have an adequate amount of tread can't grip the road or function as well as the manufacturer intended.
• Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important for my Hyundai Sonata? Rotation and alignment are all about making small tweaks that have a big impact. Both services help ensure that the correct amount of pressure is applied to each tire and that the tires connect with the road how Hyundai intended.
• Does my Hyundai Sonata power steering fluid need to be checked? Get your power steering fluid check out when you get an oil change or every couple of months. If your Sonata’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll top it off per Hyundai's guidelines to help ensure proper suspension operation.
• What can cause my Hyundai Sonata to have a bouncy ride? Damaged struts or shocks can't dampen road bumps properly, causing your vehicle to feel like a trampoline after each dip or bump.
• Why does my Sonata front end dip forward when I brake? As you brake, the forward momentum of your Sonata combined with its weight sends a ton of force to its front end. A damaged or worn suspension system can cause the front end to compress and dip even further.
• How can I tell if the shocks on my Hyundai Sonata are bad? Worn Sonata shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your Sonata might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your Sonata shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
