When the silent block bushes of the suspension wishbones fail, various noises can be heard in the cabin, especially when driving over rough surfaces: the failure of the rubber part can no longer dampen and absorb vibrations. In these cases, you can choose to replace the entire wishbone or regenerate it by only replacing the bushes.

In either case, lift the vehicle and remove the front wheel. Then, proceed to remove the fastening bolts of the wishbone; it is advisable to completely detach it to replace the bushes on a workbench.

However, if you want to avoid this, support the suspension with a jack and lower the bush seat to extract the old one by making a cut with a hacksaw blade. Once the old bush is removed, insert the new one using a hammer and reinstall the wishbone.

How to Remove the Rear Seat of a Hyundai Tucson?

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.
