When the bushes (silent blocks) of the front suspension wishbone fail, the ride over uneven surfaces becomes particularly noisy, not to mention the loss of stability in the front end. You can purchase aftermarket repair bushes for the wishbone, which are of superior quality compared to the originals as they are made from polyurethane, a significantly more durable material.

Once the wishbone is removed, you need to prepare to extract the old bushes and insert the new ones: simply obtain a threaded rod, a sufficiently thick washer, and a suitable diameter ball to create a DIY extractor and then replace the bushes.

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.
