If you hear a noise coming from the wheel when turning, possibly accompanied by play in the steering wheel that increases on uneven surfaces, it is likely that the ball joint of the tie rod end (or axial joint) of the steering box is damaged; replacing it is straightforward and by taking some precautions, you might avoid the need for a wheel alignment.

Therefore, lift the vehicle and remove the front wheel, unscrew the nut securing the tie rod end to the hub support, and before extracting the pin with the appropriate tool, loosen the lock nut. At this point, complete the disassembly by counting the number of turns needed for removal; then screw in the new tie rod end the same number of turns, secure it to the hub, and tighten the lock nut before refitting the wheel.

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.
