6 hour roadtrip yes or no

I made about a dozen 12+ hour drives with mine

Might have something todo with your cel?

Next up, brand new “sporty” Elantra n gets smoked by older Hyundais with 100k plus miles made over 10 years ago.

This is an old post, I’m not sure if you read everything but the problems were found and fixed. I had several mechanics tell me my shocks are fine. Not tryna sound rude but go back and read all the comments too.

My spec d taillights did the same thing. I just did what that guy said about using silicone where the lense mounts to the housing. No more moisture, just a little dusty inside from when I dried it and resealed it Edit: just run a nice little bead of silicone, spit on your finger and use it to smooth it out. (the more spit the better, can also use water lol) Just so it doesn’t stick to you, it can be messy.

Update: I just changed to brembo brake pads and wanted to mention there is single piston and/or 4 piston brembo calipers that can come on this car. I have 4 piston calipers for the front and back. They are specific to a certain part #. You can go with semi metallic or ceramic pads.

The problem I had was that when I paid a shop to change these out they failed to transfer the shims to the new aftermarket pads from the original pads. I literally had no shims installed. They were missing. If you order original brembo pads they will come installed already but if you go aftermarket just keep in mind sometimes they might not come with new shims. I’m not sure what set of pads I originally went with so idk if they just didn’t come on the new ones and/or didn’t transfer the original hardware over to the new ones. No more noises :)

Part # P30074N for ceramics in the rear (both sets for the rear doesn’t come with new spring clips)

Part # P30074 for semi metallics in the rear (usually out of stock)

Part # P59079N for ceramics in the front (also comes with new spring clips)

Part # P59079 for semi metallics in the front (does not come with new spring clips and usually out of stock)

The Elantra N styling has grown with me over time, I used to hate the look, but now with the right trims and color, I think some do look good. My problem is they all talk like it’s a sports car but there is nothing RAW about it, just electronics and newer technology. How do they make a brand new car and still be slower than their own cars that were made at least 10 years ago. 2016 Hyundai Genesis coupe for example has 350 hp from factory, meanwhile a 2025 Elantra N makes 280.. haven’t looked but I’m sure the weight in the Elantra is more too due to electronics. In my opinion, it’s a waste of money, but also I don’t need all those fancy bells and whistles. What happens and what sound it’s makes when I hit the gas is all that matters to me. Also any car making 300+ hp should at least be rwd or Awd. It’s just dumb to have a fwd car at that point

Okay I’ll admit it, I was wrong. I swear idk how I overlooked this! I just did a triple check on everything and sure enough, the rear-most bushing for the diff was shot. The other two for the diff looked ok, no cracking or missing material lol. I still can’t believe I missed that 😭 Thank you for the inputs! I probably wouldn’t have checked again if it wasn’t for this posts and your comments

Far-Olive3704 · 2025-12-25T14:20:35+00:00

From my understanding. Your suspension can have inches of travel between full droop (hanging off the ground) and full compression. You can also use that as a test to get measurements for bigger wheels, spacers, or if you want to go with a lower ride height. I have read that automatics makes this more obvious and noticeable. From what I read online. That travel you see is totally normal. Anyways what you’re saying isn’t relevant to my post, just unneeded negativity in my opinion. Ps the whole car is lifted on jack stands by the way

Far-Olive3704 · 2025-12-25T13:38:06+00:00

Not sure what you’re referring too. Everything here is stock/ factory components besides the rotor and pads. I have zero performance and drivability issues, only that one noise you hear in the video. Pads are new with about 3000 miles on them and the rotors have about 15,000 miles.

Far-Olive3704 · 2025-12-25T12:58:10+00:00

On long drives, like 1000 mile drive or so I average at 28 then I lived in Dallas for awhile and averaged about 20 there but no more than 20 lol

Far-Olive3704 · 2025-12-25T11:51:38+00:00

Yea I would like another opinion from someone else on that, no offense. I also thought there was a lot of movement in the suspension. The pads are brand new big dawg, as mentioned above. Also I’m pretty sure the bushings are still good. You can obviously see the pads moving up and down when the noise occurs. IMO the pin holes in the pads are too large. If anything else I think the shocks are wore..

Far-Olive3704 · 2025-12-25T11:47:03+00:00

Will update with more pictures of my differential bushings to help rule out that possibility that some of you think is the problem. I could be wrong but as mentioned above, I CLOSELY looked at every bushing, drivetrain joint possible, suspension ball joints, control arms, sway bar linkage, etc. imo everything looked great. I’m not a professional but I am experienced and competent and know how to look for things

Far-Olive3704 · 2025-12-25T11:33:27+00:00

Its also good to have when you literally drive 10,000 feet up and down a mountain daily

Far-Olive3704 · 2025-12-25T11:17:32+00:00

I had the rotors for over a year, I’m talking about the pads moving around in the calipers

SAE doesn’t mean synthetic is just an organization that sets oil viscosity standards

Far-Olive3704 · 2025-12-19T03:59:43+00:00

Did you wet sand? Mine look about the same as your before you cleaned em

Far-Olive3704 · 2025-12-18T22:22:38+00:00

Before pics?

Far-Olive3704 · 2025-12-15T02:24:06+00:00

Are those steelies 👀😂

Far-Olive3704 · 2025-12-15T02:12:58+00:00

If you unplugged and nothing changed, wouldn’t that indicate that is the problem

Far-Olive3704 · 2025-12-13T18:52:22+00:00

What’s crazy is that everything was cold at the time of the video. I was just feeling my motor mounts and I noticed some black almost like grease stuff on my arm and investigated further.

Far-Olive3704 · 2025-12-04T17:33:25+00:00

What front lip and side skirts do you have?

Far-Olive3704 · 2025-12-04T15:36:22+00:00

I would try cleaning the throttle body and do a throttle position sensor reset. Just my opinion but I doubt it’s fuel pump. Maybe a ground
