Some Hyundai Santa Fe owners report experiencing a persistent creaking noise from the front right side when driving over bumps, even after replacing the sway bar link and struts. These owners often find that worn or damaged sway bar bushings can lead to rattling sounds, despite previous repairs. Additionally, loose or worn suspension components such as control arm bushings, ball joints, or tie rod ends may contribute to these noises. Issues with the stabilizer bar or its hinges have also been noted as potential causes of the noise when navigating speed bumps. Due to the complexity of the suspension system, many owners recommend a thorough inspection by a qualified mechanic or Hyundai specialist to effectively diagnose and resolve the ongoing creaking noise.
