So I have a 2010 GenCoupe 3.8 Auto with 6000 kms, lately I have noticed a popping / banging sound coming from the front suspension when I travel over bumps. They don't have to be large bumps, even a little dip in the road produces this popping sound. It occurs on both driver and passenger sides. I have done no mods whatsoever and I barely drive the damn thing. Anybody have similar issues? What was the outcome? I have an appointment at my local dealer for next week to check this out. Any input would be greatly appreciated.

You'll get used to it lol,

I have the same problem, popping sound comming from the front suspension and sometimes from the back. The sound is noticed only on low speeds.

4 visits to the dealer and the issue is still not resolved, they still cannot locate where the sound is coming from exactly.

I hate the suspension of this car because its generally feels weak and cannot handle the weight of the car.

Probably A loose nut on one of your anti sway bars.....I had A popping sound and this fixed it. I Had to heat up the nut first tho.

I hope it is something as simple as this...I just don't want this to become a constant problem. I will find out on Thursday.

Thanks for the replies

To the OP, Try to push down (if your are srtong enough) or pop your hood and stand somewhere inside (obvoiusly chose a strong area to do this) and jump up and down flexing your suspension to see if you hear it. To rule out if it is a moving issue only or a all around suspension problem.

Thanks for the link, but I have no grinding sound here, just a popping sound which I think is coming from the suspension, not from the diff.

I'm going to put my car on jack stands, pull all the torque specs for all suspension bolts from the Hyundai Service Website & torque all the bolts underneath my car. That way I will know if any are left loose, because I'm tired of the popping/knocking noises I hear from my suspension intermittently.

Good thinkin.....I hate noisy suspensions with a passion, it really cheapens the feel of the car IMO

I'm bringing mine in on thursday to have it checked also. I got a rattle/knock coming from the rear on the driver's side when I go over bumps.

Anyone figure it out?? Mine is a 2011 3.8 track 6 speed. I'm having a popping problems in the front and starting to have a clinking sound when I pull out and back up.

I just out in links in, the one on the driver's side broke off my bc set up. Swapped back to oem instead and it started have a popping type hitting noise again. Kind of like a in link, but I wouldn't think it would have broke again... happens when I go over bumps mainly..

The clink sound I'm hearing sound like it's in the middle. Can really tell what side bc sometime I hear it on driver's then other times I'm hearing it on passanger. I did break diff bolts and mounts twisted an axel. I replaced it all. Even put a new driveline in and couplings. I don't get it... could it be my shift linkage??

There was a known problem with spot welds on the inner fender apron near the firewall failing and causing what your describing. Just a possibility.
