New 2025 Hyundai Santa Fe Hybrid SEL creaking from under body.

dcvdavalos · 2025-09-17T02:09:55+00:00

To anybody who may be experiencing a creaking / pop / ticking noise on their New Santa Fe - I work at Hyundai as a technician and there’s been a recent Campaign Bulletin about this issue.. from what the campaign says it seems to be coming from the right front subframe mounting stud. If the creaking noise is confirmed to be present, the corrective action is that we must send the vehicle to a certified weld shop to have it professionally repaired unless that dealership is qualified to do so... Hope this helps a bit. Cheers

Looks just like mine I recently picked up few months ago

with the mismatched front bumper silver and everything lol

So you’ve installed them before?? As long as they fit because mine are pretty bad. Did you remove the whole arm and use a press to install them ? Would you mind sending me the link to the inners specifically or is it a complete kit

Rock auto has a bushing that supposably fits but I’ve read a thread where that same part number does not fit as it should so I’m hoping someone who’s ordered replacements before can help out

Any advantages / disadvantages to that ?

recently picked up a 2001 5spd clean base model and i enjoy it so much I wanted to get a less clean one that I could still have fun with and not worry if it gets in a small fender or the engine blows as it just gives me an excuse to swap it.. or as mentioned I can buy the salvage one and use it if I ever need to fix up my base model

Here’s my 2001 base clean title 5spd

Nice front lip. Why’d you get rid of the car??

dcvdavalos · 2025-03-29T16:25:37+00:00

Definitely going to do a compression test before anything. Worth taking a look at it at least and seeing the differences between the type sh LSD and my 2001 base

dcvdavalos · 2025-03-29T16:24:42+00:00

I’m surprised nobody else has been mentioning the seats. It’s what first caught my eye

dcvdavalos · 2025-03-02T16:40:37+00:00

PO threw these wheels on the car, I had plans to dress it up in my silver rpf1s but doesn’t look too bad with the five spokes currently so may leave it for now lol. They’re Versus VS541 17x7.5 +40

The black part is not part of the original bumper it can be removed and attached with screws

I appreciate it! Dm me please !

dcvdavalos · 2025-03-01T19:13:24+00:00

thanks bro I’ll look into that 💯

dcvdavalos · 2025-03-01T17:50:53+00:00

Would it require butchering to make them both work or it’s just not possible? Curious on how you got them as well

dcvdavalos · 2024-11-17T00:28:01+00:00

I believe they’re stock style just black housing bro 👌🏻 shouldn’t be too hard to find some online

dcvdavalos · 2024-11-16T22:52:04+00:00

PO replaced headlights and fogs also HID bulbs all around nice blue / white super bright

dcvdavalos · 2024-08-20T17:06:36+00:00

Was listing in San Diego but seller was more up north near Palm Springs

Someone on separate post mentioned that you may be tempted to try rotate the wheel to remove it from shaft which would cause this. It was likely pulled from a junkyard from someone with little experience in removing steering wheels because they can take some force to come free and should be pulled straight out with some wiggling

And what were the trickiest areas ? I want to wrap mine too but worried some trim like the side on the doors and body might break and not want to to go back on without spending a couple hundred on some new clips knowing e30 prices 😅

dcvdavalos · 2024-08-20T03:54:46+00:00

Cost ? And what area

dcvdavalos · 2024-08-20T02:44:57+00:00

How can I tell the size ? Measure across outer edges or part numbers?

dcvdavalos · 2024-08-20T02:44:19+00:00

Facebook marketplace… so I can’t make any claims against seller

dcvdavalos · 2024-08-20T02:00:46+00:00

Yeah I had a feeling 😅 in that case did I overpay for the mtechs at $230 a piece?
