The Elantra rear shock absorber and discoveries

It was the last straw...the rear begin to sink till it's too visible and going over the speed bumps always scrap the bottom even with only a driver and a passenger in the car.

I send the car in the morning and wait for the outcome at home, with covid-19 pandemic..better to be at home.

Rear absorber bush, rear absorber mounting and rear spring cushion...all badly worn out.

This mushroom shape rubber mounting can easily broken each time replacing the absorber. Once it leaks, water will enter and rust will developed.

New spring cushion place on the rear spring as to stiffen the spring as I find the rear absorber it too soft and without those cushion, the absorber is overwork. After fitted, I find the ride is nice. Going over the road bumps felt firm, no more like double bump.

               

Left side spring. The spring too was covered with rubber hose...and surprisingly it work very well in term of reducing noise.

Right side spring too fitted the same.

I think this complete the repair on my elantra for this year 2020.
