Checking the technical condition of the rear suspension parts on a car - Hyundai Solaris
Carry out all checks and work from the bottom of the car mounted on a lift or inspection ditch (with the rear wheels hung out).
Find out if there are cracks on the suspension parts or traces of rubbing against road obstacles or the body, deformation of the rear body parts at the attachment points of the suspension units and parts.
Check the condition of rubber-metal hinges (silent blocks), suspension springs and shock absorbers.
Rubber-metal hinges and rubber parts must be replaced in case of ruptures and one-sided buckling of rubber, as well as when cutting their end surfaces.
On rubber suspension parts are not allowed:
- signs of rubber aging;
- mechanical damage.
On rubber-metal hinges are not allowed:
- signs of aging, cracks;
- one-sided buckling of the rubber array.
Replace defective parts.
Check for mechanical damage (deformations, cracks, etc.) of the suspension elements.
When checking, carefully inspect the following.
1. Rubber grommets and tightening threaded connections lower...
2. ... and upper shock absorber mounts.
3. Check up a condition of protective covers of shock-absorbers.
4. Lower the cover and check the shock absorber rod. Fluid leaks along the stem are not allowed.
5. Rubber-metal hinges (silent blocks) of the rear suspension beam.
6. Rear wheel hub bearings.
7. Springs and buffers of the rear suspension compression stroke.
The body of any car is not connected through metal to the chassis. This is done through rubber products. All in order to reduce the amplitude of oscillations, or even completely get rid of them. This provides another aspect - the possibility of unhindered movement of the suspension relative to the bearing body component. The idea is implemented in the design of the rear beam of many small cars.
What is the price of replacing the silent blocks of the rear beam of a Hyundai Solaris car and when to change them
The rear suspension includes not only a powerful torsion tube, also referred to as a beam. The entire depreciation system, including struts and springs, is tied to it. Trailing arms are also welded to it, which includes rubber-metal hinges. With the help of them, the entire rear hinge assembly is fixed from movement in the longitudinal and transverse directions.Practice shows that the change of "silent" often does not correlate with mileage. They can become unusable both after 50,000 km and after 215,000 km. The best indicator that new parts need to be installed is one of the following:
- Knocks when driving on rough roads, coming from the rear.
- Steering effect rear axle.
- Escape from the direct vector of the direction of movement.
Many motorists are interested in how much it will cost for a Hyundai Solaris to replace the silent blocks of the rear beam or the price of such a repair in a private workshop - it all depends on the region. So, in the outback at the dealer, the cost of work starts from 4,000 rubles. Within the limits of the capital, the official price tag runs up to 10,000 rubles.
Garage specialists in Moscow and St. Petersburg are ready to get down to business for 3,500 - 4,500 rubles. The same process for a private mechanic, say, in the Tver or Pskov region, in terms of time costs, will cost 2-2.5 hours, and in terms of money - 1,500-2,000 rubles.
What "silent" to buy
Along with the original blocks, the market offers for consideration the products of the following companies:
- Febest.
- Pivot Point.
- Sedem.
- X5 Resource.
Reviews say that the polyurethane counterparts of the last three firms are unnecessarily rigid. Febest fans Hyundai Solaris it is not at all recommended to buy due to the fact that their resource sometimes does not even exceed 10,000 km.
For your information. The original rubber-to-metal joints have the code 55160 1R000. The amount for them is from 1,500 to 2,500 rubles per 1 piece.
We carry out the replacement of silent blocks of the rear beam with a Hyundai Solaris with our own hands: detailed instructions
The main difficulty in this repair operation is associated with the extrusion of the "silent" used in operation. In general, the operation is no more difficult than or diesel injectors. Work can be performed both on a dismantled beam and directly on the car - it all depends on the skill of the operator-mechanic. Let's take a look at both cases.
Change of rubber-metal joints on the machine
When starting work on a jacked up car, it must be properly secured against movement. The first gear engaged or the automatic selector switched to “P” and the stops placed under the front wheels are the right actions to immobilize the car.
A carefully planned do-it-yourself replacement of the silent blocks of the rear beam with a Solaris begins with the selection of tools. Wrenches for "19", a rubber-metal hinge remover and a spring remover will come in handy. 
Work is performed alternately: first on the left, then on right side or vice versa. The technical process begins with unscrewing the wheel nuts. After the task is executed secure fixation back. Raising the wheel, we substitute stops or other homemade devices. Repeat the same steps with the other rear wheel. The process of hanging the rear beam is completed. The following are related operations on one of the sides:
- Remove fender liner.
- Dismantle the mount parking brake and brake pipe.
- Remove the ABS sensor.
- Jack up the beam and unscrew the bolts securing it to the body.
- Lower the rear suspension base.
- With the key on “19”, disconnect the rack from the lower mount.
- Get the spring.
- Withdraw working side beams.
After that, the old silent block is pressed out using a special puller. Next, a new rubber-metal hinge is installed, and work is carried out in the reverse order, taking into account such a moment: the spring is installed after the shock absorber is installed. It is pre-compressed with the use of a device. Subsequent work is carried out on the other side in the same way.
Replacing a part with a removal of a beam
Often a transitional stage due to the fact that the rubber-to-metal joint is too tightly seated in trailing arm. The puller is not able to remove it, so you have to knock out the rubber bushing from the massive part of the rear suspension. This cannot be done directly on the car. 
That is why the price of replacing the silent blocks of the rear beam of a Hyundai Solaris car is so high. Reviews note the triviality of the procedure, incomparable with
By appearance their electrodes. But, at the same time, they emphasize the presence of high energy costs in its implementation.
Most of the beam removal process is described in the previous paragraph. It should be noted that the above technical process is carried out for both sides without alternate disassembly-assembly.
On machines with disc brake it remains only to release brake pipe from the bracket. According to the repair manual, this operation is performed by separating the nut and fitting. The consequences of this are the need to bleed the brake circuit. Folk experts have found a way to get around the manufacturer's advice: a grinder is cut in the ear and the line is freely disconnected from the beam. It remains to be dismantled stopping support and hang it in the arch on the wire.
Vehicles with rear drum brakes require the line to be disconnected because brake cylinder is on the beam. Under these conditions, it will also be necessary to remove the parking brake cable from the drum part. After reassembly the system is being flushed.
Eventually
Procedure self replacement silent blocks on Hyundai Solaris can be difficult in only one aspect: pressing out the rubber-metal hinge. This operation is complicated by the need to use a special puller. Sometimes he can't do it either. Then a hammer with a chisel comes to the rescue. Sometimes the part is sawn from the inside, then knocked out. Depending on the complexity of this transition, the method of performing the technical process is determined:
- If the result is achieved only by using a puller, it can be arranged directly on the car.
- If knocking out is required - only on the removed beam.
Replacement at official dealer will cost 4,000-10,000 rubles. A private specialist will do the work for 1,500-4,500 rubles. It is recommended to purchase the original silent block (55160 1R000). It costs between 1,500-2,500 rubles.
Many car owners are interested in the question of what is rear suspension hyundai solaris? To know the answer to this question, you need to understand the features of the device of this element of the car. This issue will be discussed in detail in today's article. Having carefully studied the material presented, you will be able to disassemble solaris rear suspension, without the help of qualified mechanics.
Constituent elements
The rear suspension ensures smooth movement of the car, simultaneously leveling the unevenness of the roadway. In fact, the design of the front suspension has a more complex structure than the rear. It will be useful for a novice motorist to have a concept of the device and the principle of operation of this mechanical element.
Solaris rear suspension comprises:
- Beams, which is the main element;
- Lever fastener;
- shock absorber;
- spring element;
- Lever;
- hub assembly;
- Linings below and above the spring;
- buffer washers.
Solaris rear suspension semi-dependent spring type. Its design includes a reinforced beam and shock absorbers. The levers are equipped with edges on which the wheel axles and support clamps are located. In the front part, the levers are equipped with welded bushings, where there are silent blocks connecting the beam and the body. Cast elastic elements springs protrude.
Spring
IN solaris rear suspension the spring is supported by special gaskets made of high-quality rubber. IN Solaris rear suspension the lower coil is smaller in diameter than the upper one.
Springs differ in classification, which is determined by stiffness indicators. To define a class, constructors color elements in different colors. Each side uses springs belonging to the same class and model. When replacing springs, you can not put elements that differ from the class earlier installed parts. The function of the limiter during compression is performed by buffers installed in the center of the upper support element.
Shock absorbers are equipped with special lugs at the bottom and top. They have metal or rubber hinges. In the inner part of the hinge there is a bushing, with a passing bolt, like fastener between body and shock absorber. The front suspension of the Hyundai Solaris has bearings located in the hub assembly. This assembly does not require regular lubrication, and in the event of a breakdown it is replaced.
The rear axle wheels have a fixed position and do not provide for adjustment. They can be checked using special equipment to identify discrepancies with the norm. If, after checking, discrepancies with the initial values \u200b\u200bare revealed, then it is necessary to diagnose these parts.
Additional Information
The considered data show that the installation and dismantling works individual elements solaris rear suspension performed relatively easily. The main condition for performing installation and dismantling work is the availability of the necessary equipment.
Suspension
Most motorists modify themselves Solaris rear suspension. Such an event involves the use of high quality parts. In some cases, car owners install reinforced springs, which is quite justified based on poor quality. pavement in Russian regions.
improvement solaris rear suspension it makes sense to do only in cases of need. TO similar cases can be attributed permanent operation vehicle on poor road surfaces or off-road conditions. Unreasonable amplification solaris rear suspension usually leads to unnecessary financial costs, spending money on this case pointless and inefficient.
In the early days of the automotive industry, cars were simple structures made up of a frame, wheels, an engine, and a seat. They were intended only for movement from one point to another, and there could be no question of any comfort.
Nevertheless, time passed, the design of the car improved, consumer demands changed. Over time, useful elements such as closed body, interior heating, power windows and more.
Today it is difficult to imagine a car without a suspension system. It is present not only in passenger cars, but also on trucks, buses, trolleybuses, and other modes of transport. Exactly the suspension allows the vehicle to move smoothly and soften the bumps in the road. Without this system, driving a car would be unrealistic. Vibrations, like noise, cause significant harm to the human body.
Varieties of car suspension systems
Today, there are two types of car suspension - dependent and independent. They differ in design, comfort and cost of maintenance. It is worth noting that dependent suspension can be used both on cars and trucks, and an independent system is used only on cars. There is only one explanation for this - the independent suspension does not withstand heavy loads and expensive to maintain, which is unacceptable for commercial vehicles.
Quite often on cars both types of suspension are used simultaneously. An independent suspension is installed on the front axle, and dependent or semi-dependent on the rear. This was done in order to reduce the cost of construction and reduce maintenance costs.
In turn, an independent suspension system is divided into several varieties depending on the design:
- McPherson;
- system with oscillating semi-axes;
- with double levers;
- system with oblique levers;
- with longitudinal and transverse levers;
- torsion system;
- trailing arm system;
- air suspension;
- adaptive suspension system.
As you can see, there are a lot of varieties. But, as practice shows, approximately 50% of cars that drive on the roads of the Russian Federation have approximately the same combination of MacPherson on the front axle and a dependent or semi-dependent rear axle system. This is explained quite simply. The fact is that such a combination has a fairly high degree of reliability and endurance. At the same time, it is simple and not expensive to maintain.
The above combination is typical for . If we talk about air suspension or multi-link, then they can most often be seen on more expensive, prestigious cars. Of course, they provide more comfort and better handling, but their cost is quite high.
Suspension Hyundai Solaris
great example budget car with the classic combination of MacPherson in front and a semi-independent system in the back is. Recall that this car has been sold on the market of the Russian Federation since 2010 and in five years has managed to fall in love with an ordinary motorist due to its excellent price-quality ratio.
The suspension of the Hyundai Solaris car, despite its simplicity, provides at the same time good handling, comfort and reliability.
This was achieved through the use of quality elements of the system. As practice shows, even on not very high-quality roads of the CIS, Solaris is able to “nourish” a fairly long distance without significant suspension repairs.
However, there are also some drawbacks to this vehicle. So, some car owners note that the Hyundai Solaris rear suspension is excessively soft. This is manifested in the fact that when the trunk and passenger compartment are fully loaded the vehicle sags heavily. To treat this problem is quite simple.
Many manufacturers of non-standard spare parts offer to purchase a set of springs and shock absorbers with increased rigidity, which allows you to quickly solve the problem. But, in this case, you will have to sacrifice some degree of comfort.
This solution to the problem of the rear suspension can also significantly improve its handling. The fact is that in the pursuit of comfort had to sacrifice handling. As a result, with a sufficiently active drive, the car's feed strives to go into a skid, and sways strongly on bumps. This fact forces car owners to change shock absorbers and springs to stiffer ones, which removes swaying and excessive softness.

Why do you need a suspension upgrade? For more than five years, they have been producing a car that has gained immense popularity among car owners. This is a Hyundai Solaris.
and no less popular Kia Rio.
Korean cars that have swept our market with a wave. These brands have become popular in a very short period of time. And it's not simple words. The motto of these cars is, first of all, an innovative design, of course, beautiful harmonious forms. Exterior and interior that enlivened the entire spectrum cars setting the bar high. And as time goes by, we see how a successful design is being introduced to other brands in one form or another, there is a trace. So the move was right. But the base platform on both Solaris and Rio was not so successful. And the triple modernization did not fix the main suspension diseases. And therefore, buying a car for more than half a million, I would like to have a car with an adequate suspension. Unfortunately, there are two troubles in Russia. I won’t talk about the first one, but the second one is our roads. And here the joy of buying passes quickly. But the car is good. Can it be customized? Why not? Of course you can and should. After all, we buy different pabrekushki for beauty or convenience, sometimes giving a lot of money for it. Why can't you improve your car in terms of its behavior on the road? Isn't that the most important thing?
Need stability on the track? No problem. Shouldn't there be a swing? This is allowed. Suspension is flimsy and breaks through? And here is the solution. Small things hammering the fifth point? This can be solved and noise from bumps in the road can be reduced. This can all be resolved. And your obedient servant decided it for himself. With interest, I studied and did this for almost three years. And he brought out a certain concept in which it is possible to improve the suspension of this platform not in mock-up slang in words, but in real deeds, real developments and tests. Checking the time and reviews of the owners of those who decided to remake the suspension. It's been over three years. Year 2015. On this moment Is the problem fixed at the factory? Formally yes! They removed the buildup of the stern, strengthened the suspension. But there is no need to be delusional about this. The problem hasn't been resolved yet. Why do I say that previous changes there was little result, and the last reincarnation even aggravated the indicators. And this is not an unfounded statement, but the result of working with correspondence. Real reviews owners on sites, letters that I receive in in large numbers have similar suspension complaints. The main thing is insufficient stability at speeds of more than 100 km h. Not enough precise management when performing maneuvers. Unpredictable behavior of the car on bumps. Weakness of the suspension to breakdown. There is a thread on this forum I think my Hyundai Solaris has bad suspension! http://solaris-club.net/forum/showthread.php?t=6178 and for the sake of justice I will say that there is another topic I think my Solaris has a good suspension! http://solaris-club.net/forum/showthread.php?t=5498 But there are 127 entries in the first topic and 123 in the second, but the views in the first are 56 thousand. In the second, 36 thousand. This suggests that this problem is more likely there is what is not. Moreover, not everyone wants to simply and truthfully write about their car because so much money has been given. And in terms of the number of views, the first one is one and a half times higher. This indicates that there is a problem. Another proof that there is a problem Interest in the topic Adaptation of the running gear of Solaris to Russian roads http://solaris-club.net/forum/showthread.php?t=6394 over 3000 posts and over 450,000 views! As well as the topic on the site " Kia Rio Club Russia" I'm redoing the suspension http://kia-rio.net/forum/showthread.php?t=2508. Of course, you can ignore the problem and you can have what you have. But don't you want to have the best if there is such an opportunity?
And so let's start with what happened. It all started with Solarisiv from the first batch produced in 2010-2012. The car is very good beautiful reliable and simple, inexpensive to maintain.
I have a car from this batch. Even when buying and driving, I noticed that the stern of the Solaris gallops on bumps, especially unpleasantly swinging on the waves. But the car is new rose-colored glasses and this is the first foreign car. It differed significantly in the flow of cars with its flowing lines, and now many manufacturers have already picked up this design to one degree or another. But Solaris is the first fairly inexpensive car with great design. But back to the core of the problem. Even at the very beginning on the forums http://solaris-club.net/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=10 they began to express their indignation at the suspension, at the beginning I even defended the suspension. But life put everything in its place. When spring came and the road opened its charms, the first thing that I experienced was the weakness of the suspension to breakdown, and the front and rear suspensions easily broke through at low speeds. Therefore, it was necessary to constantly control the speed of movement. If, for some reason, the speed was a little higher, then a strong breakdown followed, especially the front suspension. Another fact turned out to be the buildup of the stern of the car on the waves. Once, entering a turn on a wave, I felt a stall in the skid of the stern. The car swerved outward. then abruptly threw in the other direction and so up to three times. And the speed was no more than 80 km / h. After this incident, I became afraid to drive fast if there were waves and bumps on the roads. It was interesting to see how classic vases! overtake easily. And the front-wheel drive vases generally made overtaking effortlessly. Less than two months after the purchase came disappointment. How can you buy a car for a decent amount of 500 thousand. With an excellent and powerful enough engine, good dynamics and a declared speed of 190 km / h
in reality, it's probably ideal road conditions. So it turned out another very unpleasant drawback of the suspension, this is not the ability to keep the car on a straight line with a side wind, when meeting with trucks, the car was thrown along the highway, I had to constantly taxi. At the same time, the speed dropped sharply, just driving is really scary and not safe. At the same time, the forum literally exploded indignation about the suspension. Neither the factory nor the OD. no one has given a real sober answer to this question. There was no revocable company either, but most of all, the motto was that the Solaris suspension was adapted to Russian roads sounded like bullying. Many owners quickly sold their cars second hand in an attempt to hide the true reason for the sale. Many simply resigned themselves to this problem. I also almost sold the car but it was my dream and therefore I decided to change the suspension and its operation myself.
When I looked under the bottom of the car I was very surprised. Why did the designers fill up the bottom of the shock absorbers to the beam, removing them from the wheel axle?
This suspension is compact and its shock absorbers do not occupy a niche in the trunk. But is it good? When the arm of the lever is the spring, the mass of the wheel hub creates inertia capable of swinging the lever.
How will the shock absorber work at this angle?
As a result of this, a buildup occurs.
Before, I studied the parameters of the factory stock suspension well.
When the shock absorber has a deviation from the vertical position, the load on it increases in direct proportion and the inertia force of the arm mass movement increases in direct proportion.
This is a physical quantity caused by the geometric arrangement of the shock absorber itself. A lot depends on this. If the shock absorber is installed vertically, the suspension travel will decrease, but the inertial forces of the mass and the load on the shock absorber itself will decrease. The 4-position mount gives the car owner the choice to set the required suspension stiffness, thereby sharpening the car for themselves. With a change in angle, the behavior of the car changes on the road, highway and on a country road.
The kinematics of the suspension with tilted shock absorbers, especially from the center of the wheel axle, creates mass on the shoulder; during movements, mass inertia is created. The shock absorber cannot adequately dampen vibrations if it is not fully clamped. In this case, the load on the silent blocks increases. In fact, the shock absorbers are extinguished on a fracture of the shoulder by turning out the silent blocks.
A straight shock has longer travel, but it completely holds the arm at its end where the axle is centered. The damper is easier to hold and compensates for any fluctuations, both small and large. It works correctly, for a long time. Example Modernized field. In front of her was a field in which the shock absorbers were at an angle, she pretty much jumped. On new car shock absorbers stand vertically and they have big move, the car really stopped jumping over bumps, the galloping effect disappeared. The compact suspensions of the Hyundai Hyundai Solaris, Kia-rio, Kia-Venga, Kia-Cerato previous, Hyundai Elantra new, have similar rear beams and shock absorbers at an angle, they all have the effect of galloping, stern buildup to varying degrees, this is especially evident in a loaded condition. Changing the angle changes how the car behaves on the road. Why do you think many changed shock absorbers more than once! On rigid, semi-rigid, shock absorbers were eventually transferred to a more vertical position, because the law of physics works here. It is better to hold a bucket in your hand than on a stick in front of you. Even if you are strong. Then carrying a bucket on a stick, it will swing, twisting the arm. In our case, silent blocks. Carrying a bucket in your hand, nothing can turn out, everything here depends on the strength of the rapist, that is, on the resistance force of the shock absorber. This is a simple law. The one who performs it spends less energy. Not fulfilling the geometry of the kinematics promises an overvoltage of the nodes and an inferior work of the suspension.
Front spring 2010-2011
Front spring 2014-2016
The spring itself has a length of 4.7 vic and a bar thickness of 12 mm
Such a spring holds the body, but with an instantaneous load, for example, an attack on an obstacle, it easily bends like an old spring sofa, hence the breakdown of the suspension, the inability to normally elastically hold the body on bumps and when exposed to air currents. Through research and testing, I was able to obtain two types of springs capable of performing their functions well within this suspension. These are the springs of the sets "Cab", "Universal", "Cross", "Nature", "Sport-DS", "Rural version" made from standard rear springs 06 of the Orlovsky and Vazovsky production models. Having a length of 5.3 to 6.75 turns, depending on the clearance at the request of the customer.
Cylindrical springs along the entire length have equal loading characteristics on coils, unlike barrel springs, which were invented to save metal.
Barrel-shaped have a small diameter at the base and a large diameter in the center. Such a spring works mainly due to its central part. Where the coil decreases in diameter, the spring works much less with an equal load on the coil. In turn, this barrel-shaped spring is more vulnerable to loading, and coils of small diameter sag faster over time, reducing the clearance, yet another such spring can break off on a small coil.
In this case, the coil spring compares favorably with its performance from the stock one, it has large quantity working coils, during compression, the resistance increases in direct proportion to the load, preventing breakdown of the suspension. Such a spring with a slightly smaller diameter quickly calms down without phantom vibrations. Therefore, there will be no swing.
By adding a normal pillow with a bandage to the design instead of the stock rubber, we get a very good result. Softness + better sound insulation.
Rear springs 2010-2011
Rear springs 2014-2016
Prepared rear suspension springs without lifting. The thickness of the bar is 11.2 mm; the number of turns is from 8 to 8.8, depending on the lift.
After installing the brackets with adjustable damper stiffness, as well as replacing the springs, the car is transformed, the suspension becomes elastic but not rigid in its concept.
The car is pleasant to drive, and he is not afraid of the road. The average speed increases and the control voltage decreases. This is especially noticeable on a long journey.
Mounting the stabilizer through a rubber bracket. Fastening to the beam with a clamp and a rubber bushing.
If the vehicle is equipped complete set modernization, he is the king of the road, summer winter autumn, he will never let you down.
With the advent of problems with the buildup of the stern at Solaris, the designers installed stiffer shock absorbers on the back of the car. The first shock absorbers are the softest are designated L-000, the second shock absorbers are designated L-001, they are now marked with a yellow mark, shock absorbers are 10% stiffer in compression. This was after the August 2011 modernization.
The rear suspension began to sway less on the waves, but still the vibrations remained, as did the suspension breakdown, and stability improved only slightly. The same shock absorbers began to be installed on the first Kia Rio models. By emphasizing that there will be no problems with the suspension with the KIA-Rio. Kia is not Solaris. Although this is not so, the base is absolutely the same. And the problem came to light a little later when the owners tasted the car on the go. On tests in the magazine "Behind the wheel" They complained about the lack of intelligibility of control. But it really is, except for the rear shock absorbers, nothing has changed in the design. After another complaint from the consumer, another attempt was made to modernize the Solaris suspension and already kia Rio. This Modernization is usually called after the February. As I predicted, the designers went on easy way. Clamped the rear shock absorbers making them more rigid in compression and tension. Such shock absorbers received the designation L-002, they began to apply a green mark.
Although on the track high speed the car began to stand an order of magnitude better, to the detriment of comfort. The noise from the suspension was also added, because now the shock absorbers began to work and resist the advanced pushes on the body in compression. After some time, it turned out that the front suspension breaks through almost the same way as on the first models. In windy weather, it is difficult for a lighter car to keep on a given trajectory.
07/14/2014 More than three years have passed and things are still there. An attempt at another improvement. The front suspension of Solaris and Kia Rio is now equipped with "Reinforced" springs. What is the difference between such an upgrade. It seemed that an additional 1 mm of the rod should make the suspension tighter and more resistant to the realities of our roads. Instead of the standard 12 mm and later 12.2 mm, the spring bar has become thicker, namely 13 mm. But the shape of the spring remained the same, moreover, the spring was made lower. It is lower than the first sample by 10 mm and still the same 3.5 working turns. But the declared ground clearance of 160mm was preserved.
On the right spring 2011 On the left spring 2014 removed the cambric at the bottom of the spring. Here is such a difference.
By strengthening the spring, they made it shorter. What's the secret? Suspension settings remain the same. If the spring of the previous version was more charged in a higher tension, now, in view of the shorter spring, the suspension has the same travel, only it has become stiffer in addition. The ancestor now reads small things well. That installed cambric at the bottom of the spring damper makes the suspension a little quieter, but comfort suffers greatly from stiffness. And suspension breakdowns remained the same as they were. After all, miracles do not happen in this course of the suspension, it is impossible to make the suspension stable and comfortable. Well, if you do not raise it, thereby add one and a half to two centimeters of clearance, which is so lacking when hitting an obstacle. At one time, your obedient servant cut not an ode to a pair of springs. And I did the same in the stock version with a spring of 13 mm thick bar. The suspension breaks. Declared 160mm in fact, the suspension leaves 80 mm of compression)))) And then bang! And at speed, even when the car is not loaded, this is a direct breakdown with a blow to the entire body. It lacks quite a bit of some 20mm, and then even if there is a breakdown, but on a serious obstacle, and it will only be a touch and not a blow with a sledgehammer. Therefore, all the kits that I offer have a degree of suspension travel reserve for breakdown. from 15 to 28 mm. In this kinematics with these racks, this is the best option. So if you change something, you need to completely rework the suspension kinematics and use racks with big move. But it is not easy and it requires investment. Last improvement it's a step back. A shorter spring does not solve the problem, and stability worsens because when the strut is opened, the top turns out to be empty, hence when turning rolls, in windy weather, unstable straight line retention. Well, we ourselves will improve the suspension. Moreover, it is not difficult to do this. Otherwise, both Solaris and Kia Rio are very good cars, many nodes go long enough, but more on that in another section. Something like that.
Since 2014 Hyundai launched Solaris, which has undergone a major restyling. The vehicle received the greatest update in the technical part, and in particular in the front suspension. Thanks to the upgrade of engines, suspension, transmission and other components, the Hyundai Solaris has become one of the most popular cars in the world. price segment according to indicators such as:
- material quality;
- passenger safety;
- controllability.
The Hyundai Solaris car is a long-term project of Korean engineers, which has managed to receive many flattering reviews throughout its existence. However, the manufacturer's transition to new equipment made it possible to introduce a completely different Solaris to the whole world. The first car was characterized by original features that indicated the designer's ability to think outside the box.
The novelty conquered many indicators power units, as a result of which no one particularly paid attention to the presence of any shortcomings in the work vehicle. However, over time, many car owners became less rosy and satisfied with the use of the car and demanded management to refine it.
The front suspension of the Hyundai Solaris received most of the claims against it. According to car owners, it could work well only on perfectly even surfaces. If you had to travel across the expanses of Russia, then the driver faced many problems in the operation of the suspension.
The management of the company does an excellent job and gladly takes into account the wishes of its customers. As a result, with each restyling of the car, the manufacturer tries to remove all the shortcomings.
In 2014, the company launched a car for sale, in which the main focus of the changes was placed on the suspension. Engineers announced their results in advance of Solaris exit. Many motorists were pleased with this news and everyone began to look forward to the official release of the car. The declared data from the company turned out to be true: in addition to some changes in the design of the exterior of the car, a change in the design of the front and rear suspensions was made, also appeared new line gearboxes. Thanks to these changes, Solaris has become much more practical on the road.
The Hyundai front suspension was made in the form of a unique design using MacPherson struts. The suspension is independent by its type, thanks to which it provides:
- excellent road grip;
- excellent handling both when passing bends and on flat sections of the route;
- high reliability and traffic safety.
Dynamism of the car on the road is achieved through the use of new energy-intensive shock absorbers by the company's engineers. The springs along with the shock absorbers received a greater degree of rigidity.
As a result, it was possible to get a car that perfectly overcomes bad sections of roads. The new version of the car, unlike previous model moves smoothly and quietly, easily bypassing various bumps in the road surface. The revision of the car suspension design made it possible to reduce the previously developing buildup.
Despite the excellent assembly of the car, the front suspension arms and shock absorbers are still the most susceptible to repair elements. If while driving appeared extraneous knocks or uneven tire wear occurs, it is necessary to repair the Hyundai Solaris front suspension. You can replace a bent or burst front suspension arm yourself in the garage. To do this, stock up on a set of tools and, accordingly, a new part. The procedure for replacing the lever is as follows:
- raise the front
- substitute a safety support;
- remove the wheel;
- then you need to remove the ball stud nut;
- the finger is pressed out with a puller;
- the lever is disconnected from the steering knuckle;
- then you need to remove the nut of the front bolt that secures the lever to the cross member;
- after removing the nut, it is necessary to remove the bolt from the silent block;
- then also remove the rear fastener bolt with nut;
- next, the lever assembly with the ball is removed;
- installation of a detail is made upside-down.
After replacing the lever, it is necessary to set the angle of the wheels at the station Maintenance. If, after replacing the lever, the knocks do not stop, you need to check the front suspension shock absorber. To remove it you need:
- must be substituted under rear wheels car anti-recoilers;
- loosen nuts front wheel;
- under the hood, remove the protective caps of the shock absorber mounting nuts;
- loosen the nut - it is done with two keys, one holds the stem from turning, the second key unscrews the nut itself;
- remove the top nut;
- remove the thrust washer;
- lift the front end and remove the wheel.
On a note! When removing the shock absorber on the right, you must first unscrew the rotation sensor bracket bolt rim, then remove the wires. If the car has ABS system, then the sensors are installed on both sides.
The front shock absorbers must be replaced in pairs. After repair, you will need to adjust the wheel alignment.
The restyling carried out in 2014 gave Solaris many advantages over its predecessors. However, the quality of the suspension pleased not every motorist. As a result, many car owners began to use all kinds of independent ways modernization, as a result of which the front suspension of the Hyundai Solaris slightly changes. Tuning it consists in the following methods.
For modernization, it is necessary to replace the front shock absorbers. Drivers must install the item from KIA Soul instead of native. This method is the most popular.
- initially you need to jack up the car;
- then the wheel is removed;
- remove the standard shock absorber;
- the shock absorber from Kia is slightly longer, so it is necessary to cut it in line with the native part of the car;
- then pumped new shock absorber(4 passes);
- car assembly.
Thanks to this tuning method, it is possible to achieve high rigidity on bad roads, in addition, the machine acquires improved qualities in the form of stability and controllability.
Another method of modernization is the use of purchased elements. The unique design is referred to as the cube suspension. Despite the low popularity of the suspension, many speak flatteringly about its work. The suspension is based on the use of front springs, the strength of which is much greater than conventional ones. Thanks to this, the car becomes even more dynamic and manageable.
The choice remains with the driver. It is he who decides whether to upgrade the suspension and get a completely different car in terms of performance, or save money and spend money on repairs.

Hyundai Solaris - enough new car that appeared on our automotive market in 2011. Korean designers did a good job on it. So far, the cars are all under warranty, so very few people did the tuning of Hyundai Solaris cars. True, the 2011 models have one significant disadvantage- too much soft suspension, due to which high speeds the behavior of the machine becomes unpredictable.
In order to make the Solaris suspension more rigid, you can go in two ways. The first one is the most expensive and the most costly. To do this, go to a tuning studio or car service, order new suspension and after the agreed time you pick up the car with a new one installed sports suspension. The second way is less expensive - the installation of sawn springs from the VAZ: in front of the "classic" rear ones, in the back - from the VAZ 2110.
The front springs from above need to be slightly bent inward, since their diameter is larger than the diameter of the support cup. Next, it remains to choose how hard to cut the springs (and you will have to cut them anyway, at least half a turn - otherwise they won’t get up). But the most pleasant option that does not affect the design of the suspension (and, accordingly, the guarantee) is the installation of air bags inside the springs.
Using a compressor or hand pump, the pillows are inflated to desired pressure and make the suspension stiffer at the same height. Pillows work as limiters, eliminating breakdowns. Thus, the suspension becomes more collected.
Another advantage of air springs is the ability to quickly adjust the stiffness, for example, when transporting goods. The optimum pressure for a three-liter pillow is 0.5 bar. Therefore, if you decide to get this device, then do not forget about the pressure gauge with a division value of not more than 0.1 bar.
The most popular and proven manufacturer of air suspension is the American company Air Lift. Such tuning of Hyundai Solaris cars in the CIS costs about 200-220 dollars. The only disadvantage of airbags is that they can only be installed inside the springs, that is, at the back (Solaris has racks in front). But this is not scary, because the engine and transmission are in front, which means that the front itself is tougher.
Otherwise - only light styling at the request of the owner. To give originality, you can attach a spoiler or highlight the bottom and wheels. You can decorate the car with images applied different ways- for example, to make airbrushing with a film by contacting a specialized studio. Pleasure is not cheap, but they will offer a wide variety of options for drawings and select color scheme just for your car. You can order a full-color print on film, and if you get tired of the drawing or burn out, it can be removed without problems.
In tuning stores, you can buy many different accessories for the Hyundai Solaris, which is a version of the well-known Accent. One of the most frequent proposals is a modified radiator grille. Moreover, you can find several options at once, among which there are versions with daytime running lights, with or without chrome elements.
If the goal is to make the silhouette of Solaris more rapid, then various aerodynamic elements. This is, first of all, a spoiler and body kit. There are many options, and everyone has the opportunity to choose a design to their liking.
Factory-made elements that improve the aerodynamics of a car are offered for cars produced since 2010.
External lighting Hyundai Solaris can be finalized in terms of LED tuning. This is done not so much for practice, but for beauty. For Solaris, the market offers a considerable amount of alternative optics with LEDs, among which there are also models with full LED light.
Having driven in the Solaris cabin, an inexperienced driver may be quite satisfied with the sound comfort, but for those who have something to compare with, the sound insulation of this car is unlikely to seem ideal. Thankfully, we'll fix it. Various tuning companies offer ready-made kits for soundproofing Solaris. By using special material inner space cabin is additionally isolated from:
Wheel tuning can transform almost any car. And the Hyundai Solaris is no exception. For this compact machine, modern alloy wheels. If finances allow, it is better to take forged rather than cast ones. If, nevertheless, it is decided to save money and stop at casting, it is recommended to purchase new kit, as used discs may have internal cracks, which is unsafe.
Today, many motorists focus not so much on the outside as on internal tuning. It is about bringing the interior of the car in line with the individual concept of comfort. The easiest way is to contact a tuning company, whose designers will develop a project for a new interior, while the owner will be able to make his own changes to it.
Internal tuning usually begins with the upholstery of the interior. Can be used different materials, for example, natural or so-called eco-leather, or combinations of both. But whatever materials are chosen, they must be wear-resistant. You can not take delicate types of leather or low-quality leatherette, as such finishes are very quickly overwritten and lose their appearance.
stock console and dashboard can be changed to textured versions. The choice is great - from carbon fiber to exotic leather and wood. The center of the interior composition is steering wheel, the finishing of which is given a lot of attention. It is possible to install a pad on the steering wheel, equipped with functional buttons.
Hyundai Solaris is one of those cars that provide the widest field for tuning. This car can be modified beyond recognition. Solaris is a real find for people whose hobby is tuning. At the same time, the owners of this car can, with minimal modifications, significantly increase comfort and get more pleasure from driving.
In conclusion, I would like to wish all owners of Solaris creative success on the way to improving their cars. No need to rush with the choice of certain elements. First, you should take a look at the whole range of available, get acquainted with the already implemented projects, and only then finally decide on the future design.
