The failure of the support rubber (bush) of the front suspension wishbone is a fairly common defect and manifests as significant noise, especially when driving on uneven surfaces; remedying this issue is quite simple and economical, as there are specific repair kits available in the aftermarket; position the vehicle on suitable axle stands and proceed to remove the wishbone by detaching the ball joint from the hub support with a fork puller; it is likely that the inner sleeve of the bush remains stuck on the wishbone itself: make a notch with a thin cutting disc, taking care not to damage the respective seat on the wishbone, and proceed in reverse for the installation of the new sleeve.

To remove the rear seat of a Hyundai Tucson, follow these steps. Start by moving the front seats to their most forward position to gain space. Next, locate the release lever on the underside of the rear seat, near the floor. Press this lever down while pulling the seat upwards to unlock it from the anchor pins. Once unlocked, tilt the seat upwards and forwards to remove it from its position. Repeat this process for both sides of the rear seat. Be careful of any electrical cables or components that may be connected to the seat during removal. Once the rear seat is removed, the disassembly is complete.
