| Description of the problem | I own a 2006 hyundai sonata, at 100,000 (hwy miles) the front upper control arms became squeeky and detatched from the rubber bushings, making a horrible ride and clunking sound when i would put the car into gear. This problem makes the car bouncy and unstable. There is also a knocking or loud clicking sound in the engine at crusing speeds, when i barley push the gas pedal. It sounds like the air intake control valve. It goes away when i accelerate. The radio and cruise control electornics seem to work only when they want too! |
