Consumer Description

I HAVE HAD THIS SANTA FE SINCE 2008 AND HAVE KEPT UP WITH THE SERVICE ON THIS VEHICLE. I HAVE BEEN IN TO THE DEALERSHIP MANY TIMES FOR THE SAME NOISE, AND THAT IS A CLUNKING SOUND WHEN DRIVING AT SPEEDS BETWEEN 15 AND 25MPH. WHEN I DRIVE OVER A BUMP IN THE ROAD, IT SOUNDS LIKE SOMETHING IS LOOSE AND RATTLES. AND IT FEELS LIKE THE STEERING IS MORE AGGRESSIVE SINCE I HAD ALL THAT WORK DONE. I LOVE MY SANTA FE AND HAVE NEVER HAD ANY PROBLEMS, EXCEPT FOR THAT NOISE IN THE FRONT END. I HAVE REPLACED THE SWAY BAR LINKS AND STRUTS RECENTLY, BECAUSE THEY TOLD ME THAT WAS THE PROBLEM AND I STILL HAVE THE SAME NOISE. I SAW A TBS BULLETIN DATED BACK IN 2008 ABOUT THE STEERING YOKE COULD BE MAKING THAT NOISE TOO. AND YOU CAN FEEL IT IN THE STEERING WHEEL WHEN YOU HIT SMALL BUMPS TOO. *TR
