I changed the lower arm bushing and not sure about the ball joint. Didn’t change the whole lower arm. Tyres no problem as went for tyres shop for check. they can’t identify the problem. After the alignment, steering still skew to left.

Since you crashed through potholes before, suspect might your lower arm problem. Most likely cause is:
1. Lower arm bend or ball joint loose
2. Tyre thread not same for left and right (since you checked with tyre shop, you can rule this out)
3. Check if any of your brake caliper is stuck. Does your car skew when braking too?

Other possible causes:
1. Wheel bearing is dragging
2. Broken engine mounting, causing torque steer as drive shaft will spin faster on 1 side
3. Drive shaft is tight on 1 side. Does your car knock when you turn the steering?
4. ABS system kacau. Go to workshop scan for error codes. Possibly wheel speed sensor broken too

Some owners went back to service center RM350-400 inclusive of labor. I changed mine few months ago, bought from Lazada RM100+ for genuine part and DIY myself haha.
Did your airbags light come on or steering wheel control not working?

I think any workshop or accessory shop should be able to do it. If you're comfortable, you can refer to YouTube for guidance. That's what I did thumbup.gif

Thanks for your advice.
1. Lower arm checked visually and it looks good. Ball joint changed after the potholes experience
2. Tyre no problem.
3. Brake caliber is good as it doesn’t skew when braking

Other possible causes:
1. Haven’t check the wheel bearing but it doesn’t not sound faultyt
2. engine mounting replaced recently but doesn’t help
3. Not knocking or any sound when turning to left or right.
4. Went Hyundai service center scanning but no error code found

Really headache...

Hi just got my Elantra 1.6 2015 2 weeks ago.
Was wonder is there anyplace near Kajang I can mod my armrest to sliding armrest? The original one is short.

My elantra variant does not come with smart key keyless entry and pusg start button. Is it possible to mod this?

If rear brake lamps stay on then most likely is the brake switch. Small plastic rubber can get from any spare parts shop. Replaced mine with toyota rubber switch RM5/pc.

Hi there everyone
Just got myself a 2013 Elantra.
Have a few questions about the car.
It is possible to install:
- car central locking system(tekan brakes to lock all doors) for this car
- change the very old type of iPhone cable in the passenger side compartment to the new iPhone lighting cable?

Thinking about buying a used 15 or 16 elantra

I admit my understanding of korean cars from listening to those old uncles.

How true is the claim that hyundai cars are expensive to maintain? Are spare parts readily available? and are normal workshops able to work on them?

Normal service for oil change, I would say it's similar to Japanese car. Oil change for fully synthetic can be done RM100+
Personally I'm using Shell Helix Ultra, same as what service center is using. You can get it online or from Tesco during promotion.

For spare part wise, after market parts are readily available. Pricing are very similar to Japanese rivals.

If you plan to go for original OEM parts, you'll be surprised that Korea original parts are much cheaper than Japanese original parts.
Besides, I can tell you that there are a lot of "fake" Honda and Toyota parts out there with fake original packaging. Not so much for Korean cars, maybe the demand is not that high, so no one are counterfeiting Korean spare parts yet tongue.gif

Thanks for the info.

Are your run of the mill neighborhood workshop able to work on them or do they require specialist workshops or official service centers?

Any workshop should be fine. You can Google around for Korean car specialist as well if you like. Korean car are very similar in design as compared with Japanese and local cars. Front wheel drive, McPherson struts, engine layout etc.

I have changed my absorber and engine mounting. I bought online and took it to normal workshop to replace it. They did it just fine biggrin.gif
