Re: 06 Sonata - Rear Clunking Noise
The clunking in the suspension is unfortunately a characteristic of the
vehicle. The noise transmits too well from the suspension through the
rear shock mounts and there is little insulation in the rear area of the
vehicle. I have no idea whether Hyundai intends to address these issues
with design revisions or whether such revisions can be made retroactive.

Wonder if poly urethane washers could be used to help isolate the noise
transmitted through the shock mounts?

HT, is there any indication as to why only some vehicles experience this
noise? A friend of mine recently picked up an '06 LX, and I hear this
noise while in his car, but not in my '06 GLS V6.

Re: 06 Sonata - Rear Clunking Noise
Thanks for the info. Good to hear that these issues have been reported
to Hyundai Motor co...My 2006 Sonata GLS V6, 1500 miles, has the first
two...clunking rear and rumbling gas tank when full. Please post any
solutions you have found...
Thanks,

1 thing is for sure, we haven't heard the last of this one. The natives are

Re: 06 Sonata - Rear Clunking Noise
Doubtful that it's just a "noisy" suspension. I got a chance to ride in the
trunk and it's only from the passenger side, not the driver's. The noise
isn't a clunk and then it's over. It's goes on for a couple seconds
sounding as if something is loose. I highly suspect the exhaust system, but
haven't given it enough look-see yet. Perhaps the rubber isolators in the
hangars are to blame. Let me know if anyone else has any ideas.
