Summary:
- In 2013, Hyundai issued a recall for the 2006 to 2010 Sonatas that were manufactured on March 1, 2005 through January 21, 2010 due to a compromised rear suspension that can lead to a detached control arm.
- The control arms of your Hyundai Sonata may wear down once they reach 90,000 to 100, 000 miles.
- Signs of a bad control arm are clunking noises, excessive vibrations, steering wander, and uneven tire wear.
- The price of aftermarket Hyundai Sonata control arm replacements may start at around $10 and may cost as much as $500, depending on the features, configuration, vehicle specs, and manufacturer.
The control arms of your Hyundai Sonata basically connect the suspension to the frame of the vehicle. Control arms are linked to the frame through bushings and are attached to the suspension through ball joints. They control the movement of the wheels, so these can move up and down. That is why when a Hyundai Sonata control arm is starting to wear down or fail, the ride can become rough and bumpy.
Even if you do not check the undercarriage of your Hyundai, there are ways to tell if the control arm needs to be replaced by the way the vehicle handles or behaves.
Hyundai Sonata Control Arm Recall
In 2013, Hyundai issued a recall for the 2006 to 2010 Sonatas that were manufactured on March 1, 2005 through January 21, 2010, along with 2006 to 2011 Azeras. This recall (recall number: 13V354000) affected more than 200,000 units.
The rear suspension of the recalled Hyundais was compromised as road salt and water infiltrated some parts of the rear crossmember, which can lead to corrosion. Because of this, one of the rear control arms can become detached or get separated. This would alter the rear wheel alignment and ultimately affect vehicle handling and increase the risk of a collision. The dealers had to repair the crossmember or replace the entire assembly as needed.
Bad Hyundai Control Arm Symptoms
The control arms of your Hyundai Sonata may wear down once they reach 90,000 to 100, 000 miles. These parts may wear out faster when you drive your Sonata over bumps and potholes and through rough conditions. The ball joints may come loose and alter the alignment since they connect the arms to the wheel assembly. The bushings may also sag, get torn, or wear down as the rubber becomes brittle after absorbing road vibrations for a long time.
Signs of a failing control arm include:
Clunking noise
A bad control arm may produce a banging noise as the vehicle drives over a bump, brakes, or makes a tight turn.
Excessive vibrations
A busted control arm may create excessive vibrations in the steering wheel as the wheels wobble.
Steering wander
A vehicle with a faulty control arm can pull slightly to the left or right even if you do not turn the wheel.
Uneven tire wear
A worn-out control arm may cause unusual tire wear patterns, mostly on the inner or outer edges, since this affects the alignment.
Note: These symptoms are not just related to a faulty control arm. Bad wheel bearings, tie rod ends, steering linkages, and rack and pinion bushings may exhibit the same symptoms, so you have to check the control arm assembly, especially the ball joints and bushings, to address the issue properly.
Things to Consider when Shopping for Hyundai Sonata Control Arm Replacement
The suspension design and steering setup of your Hyundai may vary per year and model. When shopping for Hyundai Sonata parts, you have to include the complete vehicle information (e.g., 2006 Hyundai Sonata control arm) in order to find compatible parts.
You also have to indicate the exact location of the control arm that you are replacing. The control arm replacement may or may not include ball joints and bushings, so you have to check. The control arm may be greaseable and adjustable, depending on the specs and requirements of your vehicle. Some aftermarket parts are sold as direct OE replacements, while others are made as upgrades with improved features.
You can buy the control arm per piece or as a set, which is why the price range varies widely. The price of aftermarket Hyundai Sonata control arm replacements may start at around $10 and may cost as much as $500, depending on the features, configuration, vehicle specs, and manufacturer.
