MK2 2012 HYUNDAI SANTA FE 2.2 CRDi

Recommended Posts

Hi guys, I have a MK2 Santa Fe top of the range Premium model with self leveling rear suspension. It's failed on both rear shockers, they aren't leaking its the actual bushes which have worn, Hyundai want over a grand for a pair ! Anyone know where or how to just get the bushes replaced refurbished ?? I have searched for the rear shockers, but they are ALL non self leveling... Any help would be much appreciated :)

I seem to remember a similar problem with the old Mitsubishi pajero’s. You could buy replacement rubbers from off-road specialists. Might be worth a try for you? 

And also, try the Aussie off-road websites. Those guys are streets ahead of our lot. Especially where newer Japanese/Asian stuff is concerned. If it’s possible to replace the bushes on Hyundai Santa Fe rear shocks, they’ll have done it.
