Front and rear stabilizer struts Hyundai Solaris

Each element of the car performs a specific function, so a malfunction of even a seemingly insignificant part can lead to serious consequences. The Solaris stabilizer bar plays an important role in the stability of the car when driving. The purpose of this element, as well as signs of breakdown and replacement rules, will be discussed in more detail in this article.

The role of the front and rear stabilizer struts on the Hyundai Solaris

To ensure a high level of comfort for the driver and passengers, springs or springs are installed between the wheels and the body, which together with shock absorbers dampen vertical vibrations. Such suspension elements cannot be rigidly fixed, because they constantly have to move. Anti-roll bars are used to support the shock absorbers in a vertical position.

Such elements are especially important for the front suspension, because in addition to vertical vibrations, shock absorbers are subject to excessive angular loads when cornering. Negative impacts on the struts appear not only due to the inertia of the body when moving at speed, but also due to the centrifugal forces of the rotating wheels. The total load can reach such values ​​that if these parts were not installed on the car, the shock absorber struts would vomit on a sharp turn or if a wheel hits even a shallow pothole on the road.

The rear stabilizers of Hyundai Solaris also play a very important role. Such elements make it possible to reduce the lateral roll of the car, and also not to destroy the shock absorber mounts when the car suddenly starts or while driving on a road with poor surface.

Shock absorber parts

Shock absorber boot. It is not listed separately in the catalog. It only comes complete with a shock absorber. Despite the fact that the boot is plastic, a situation where it ruptures before the shock absorber and loses its properties does occur, although more often the opposite happens.

Upper bushing or silent block of the shock absorber. The original is also only assembled. It is made separately only by the company Point of Support. Material polyurethane.

Lower bushing or silent block of the shock absorber. Everything is the same as with the top.

Article 12-06-3668

Upper shock absorber bolt. It may sour tightly inside the metal bushing of the shock absorber. In this case, it will have to be cut off and replaced with a new one.

Signs of a broken stabilizer bar link and diagnostics

Complete destruction of the traction of a Hyundai Solaris is very rare, but even if such a breakdown occurs, the driver is unlikely to fail to notice it. Much more often, this part slightly loses its functionality, but even this condition of the unit responsible for the stability of the car on the road can have very negative consequences.

After the car is manufactured at the factory, its suspension can be tested on a special stand that simulates real road conditions. Unfortunately, it is not possible to perform such diagnostics in a garage environment, but there are simple and proven methods that will help test this element for suitability for further use.

The main sign of a malfunction of this part is excessive roll when entering a turn. At a significant speed, the car can significantly deviate from the given trajectory, which is a dangerous phenomenon that entails a real danger of getting into an accident with serious consequences.

If the linkage breaks down, the car will sway excessively. Even small bumps in the road can cause this unpleasant effect. There is body swaying during sudden acceleration and braking.

If the hinge mechanism has collapsed, the driver may hear a frequent knocking sound while driving from the side where the breakdown occurred.

If there are doubts about the performance of the racks, they can be easily checked in a garage. A malfunction of the front elements is diagnosed as follows:

• Turn the wheels all the way in one direction.
• Take the rod with your hand and try to shake it.

With this diagnostic method, identifying play in the rods will indicate a faulty part. The rear part is checked in the same way, but no preparatory actions are required before performing such work. It is enough to place the car on the inspection hole and pull the rack to accurately determine the possibility of further use of the part.

What to put instead of the original

At first glance, there are many offers, but there are few quality options among all the variety. Most of this is junk from China, often pretending to be either Japanese or German. These quickly lose their original characteristics, often knocking and leaking, especially in cold weather.

Listed below are manufacturers that can be recommended for installation.

1) MANDO. The originals come with racks from this particular company. They can be purchased in their own packaging. To do this, you need to add EX before the original number, it turns out that the right racks have the numbers: EX546604L000 EX546604L100 EX546604L101, left EX546504L000 EX546504L100 EX546504L101

It has been noticed that the quality for the conveyor and the spare parts market is different. The quality of spare parts is worse than for the conveyor. The stands in their MANDO packaging last less than the MANDO stands in the original packaging.

Mando front struts

2) KAYABA (KYB) . The brand’s reputation today is spoiled by the abundance of counterfeit goods, which last 20-30 thousand km. Real racks can be purchased from Rossco or Armtek. I have been working with them for many years, and these companies have not been noticed in diluting their assortment with leftists.

Left rack article number - 338109, right rack article number - 338108

KAYABA front struts

3) MONROE. Another worthy option. They are often the most affordable. Sometimes they look unsightly in appearance, but there are no problems with quality. I have heard many times about the presence of counterfeit goods, but I have never encountered it myself. The left rack article number is G7420, the right rack article number is G7419

Selection of original and similar spare parts by article number for Solaris 2011 - 2022 model years

The stabilizer strut of the Hyundai Solaris car must be selected according to the article number. Only in this case can a positive result be guaranteed when replacing a part. For the original car model, produced between 2011 and 2022, a part with article number S48300U (original) is installed.

In addition, on the Hyundai Solaris you can install a rack recommended by the manufacturer with the number CLKH46, which is also produced in Korea.

Among analogues, the following models have proven themselves well:

• LENFORDER (art. 36738-01) – the stabilizer link is manufactured in the UK. The product is practically not inferior to factory models in all characteristics.
• BLUE PRINT (art. ADG085159) – an analogue is produced in Germany. The product is of very good quality, and the price of the stand does not exceed the cost of the original.
• DELPHI (art. TS2668) - the product is also manufactured in Germany, has a good service life and a relatively low price tag.
• FENOX (art. LS11016) – the product is manufactured in China. Ideal for cars manufactured between 2012 and 2013.
• FEBI (art. 28734) is a Chinese shock absorber strut that is suitable for all Hyundai Solaris models.

Any of the listed models can be used to replace the original Hyundai Solaris strut. One caveat is not to confuse the product code number, because the shock absorber struts of different cars can be very similar in appearance.

Rear beam silent blocks

All modern cars have many different parts and components that are important during operation.

The condition of large components is subject to control from time to time by the owner, while small ones, such as silent blocks, remain deprived of attention. Silent block is a rubber-metal hinge through which the suspension is connected to the car body

They take on the loads transmitted to the body by the rotating wheels and dampen the resulting vibrations.

Self-replacement of Xyundai Solaris struts

Replacing the Hyundai Solaris stabilizer strut can be done with your own hands. This procedure will not take too much time, and to complete the work it is not necessary to have extensive experience in car suspension repair. If you strictly follow the recommendations outlined below, you can complete the job perfectly the first time.

Required keys and materials

Before you begin work on replacing the stabilizer link, you must select the right product. Above were the main part numbers that can be used for this purpose.

Attention! It is recommended to purchase parts only from trusted or trusted retail outlets. This is the only way to avoid purchasing counterfeit products.

In addition to replacement parts, you must prepare:

• A set of keys.
• Jack.
• Small crowbar.

When all the necessary keys and materials are ready, you can begin the repair.

Removing the old rack and installing a new one

Before replacing the front stabilizer struts of the Hyundai Solaris, it is recommended that you first wash the car thoroughly. When the machine is completely dry, it is placed on a flat horizontal surface. Further work is performed in the following sequence:

• Remove the wheel from the side of the strut that needs to be replaced.
• Raise the car on a jack.
• Unscrew the nuts securing the part to the rod and shock absorber strut.
• Using a crowbar, press out the hinge pins.
• Install the new part in the reverse order of removal.

It is recommended to repeat the operation on the other side of the machine even if the other stabilizer link is in satisfactory condition. If the car is used for a long time, then the part located on the other side has also undergone wear and tear and may fail at any time. For this reason, it is recommended to always purchase 2 parts and replace them on both sides.

Attention! After replacing the front stabilizer struts, it is recommended to adjust the camber and toe angle of the wheels.

If necessary, the rear stabilizer struts of the Hyundai Solaris can be replaced in a similar way.

Suspension

Most car enthusiasts independently modify the rear suspension of the Solaris.

Such an event involves the use of high-quality parts. In some cases, car owners install reinforced springs, which is quite justified based on the unsatisfactory quality of the road surface in the Russian regions.

Improvement of the Solaris rear suspension

It only makes sense to do it when necessary.
Such cases include constant operation of the vehicle on poor road surfaces or in off-road conditions. Unreasonable strengthening of the Solaris rear suspension
usually leads to unnecessary financial costs; spending money in this case is pointless and ineffective.
