Greeting Fellow Nthusiast.
I have been informed by my local Hyundai Dealer that my Bushings were starting to rip off.
And low and behold, they are, just wanted to show you what 6 year old Bushings look like on a 2020 i30N PFL.
The Dealer I went to told me "We suggest a full Lower Control Arm replacement" and given the price, it aint cheap and I am not swimming in money at the moment.
In fact I sort of have some finance issues going on.
So the best next option was to visit a other Hyundai Workshop that really good friend of mine suggested.
They in fact do Bushing changes for Half of the price of the entire lower control arm.
Changing the Bushings (I dont remember if the Ball Joint will be replaced too) and keeping the stock Lower Control arm.
I still see that its in good condition, and as a former car mechanic its not hard to see why, apart from the color change by the bushings that signal how terrible they have been neglected.
Changing these for PU bushings wasnt a option atm as in Germany its not illegal, but many Car Mechanics dont want to do it, and I dont have the Tools/Garage to do so.
Beside those that did recommended me to change wanted to install non OEM parts/bushing/lower control arm to my i30N that I track on Nurburgring.
Keep in mind, MOBIS is making these Bushings for the i30N, the NORMAL i30 bushings ARE NOT THE SAME as the i30N's.
And to follow it up they all said "It needs to be done correctly", and to that I say, no thanks, I need the bushings replaced and not a standard bushing to be in these while I track on Nurburgring.
Still.
I will follow up with updates after they have been replaced, my friend that suggested me this Hyundai workshop swears his were done really well and no issues whatsoever on his 2018 i30N.
I trust my good friend and follow to the shops positive reviews.
Price ill list later after update.
