Hyundai I30N - Replace the Torque Mount Bushes
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 10 дек 2024
- This video is another demonstration video of what is involved with changing the torque mount bushes on an I30N. From the factory these are known to be quite soft and can be attributed to excessive axle-tramp (wheel-hop) when the tyres break traction. The large amount of movement permitted means the torsional movement of the engine and gearbox twists back and forth as the rubbers flex which produces that well known shuddering that front-wheel-drive cars are prone to.
The results of the new part improved the driveability of the vehicle, it did not completely eliminate axle-tramp (which is quite difficult in high powered front-wheel-drive cars). There is a bit more vibration when at idle, but that is to be expected with the use of more solid components.
With working on your vehicle be sure to use the right tools, set your vehicle up so it is safe and use vehicle stands when you raise your vehicle on a jack. If you feel the work is beyond your abilities then have your preferred mechanic fit the parts for you. The job in a workshop environment would take about 15 minutes from start to finish.

As soon as I heard your voice and saw where you were driving I realised I'd met you at the most recent KDM QLD meet up :D Great video, man. I'm looking at doing mine at some point.
Yep, that is me. Sure is a cost effective mod that delivers some noticeable improvements in how the car performs.
Awesome video! Very concise! Thanks! 🙌🏻
No problem, thanks for watching!!!
Just bought this and this fits my 2012 Elantra.
Good to hear. Application is similar throughout many models so good to know it helped you out.
I started to have squeaking/creaking after awhile, do you experience it to?
@ngGate
Thanks for the video, are you still running the kdt970s? I heard the power flex purple eliminates 95% of the axle tramp
Thanks for watching. Yes, still have them installed. Most of the time I drive in 'N Custom' so the vibration is not really an issue. Most of the time axle tramp is minimal but can flair up if I get excessive wheelspin.
@@CrackingGate thanks for the reply mate, appreciate it. You should do a video on the N showcasing any mods you have done
@@hnnnng9175 still running stock at the moment besides that one upgrade.... I do have a few things in mind for it though.
@@CrackingGate definitely check out Cherry Tuning if you haven't already 😎
Torque Specs?
Hello, where can I get those tires where they sell them? I have a Hyundai Creta 1.6 from 2017
Tyres are the HN spec Pirelli P-Zero's. Most tyre stores can order them but I would assume sizes are limited given the limited number of vehicles. Normal Perelli P-Zero's would be more easier to source depending on what size tyre you need.
Hi mate will I just need to order one pack or are there two arms needing replacement??
Only need the one pack to do the job. 🙂
Great video, thank you!
No problem mate. 👍
What about the opposite end, the round bushing can buy them too?
Perhaps, would need to check the Whiteline Catalogue to see if they stock it.
Did u have to jack up the engine/transmission? Or did u just lift the car and went straight up and started removing the mount?
It is possible to do it without a jack if you have space in front of the car (off a curb) otherwise a jack will help give you more room needed
@Cracking Gate yesssir but I mean you don't have to support the engine to remove the mount? That is what I meant I'm sorry
Yeah I was wondering the same. I ended up getting Powerflex ones and all the instructions for the three mounts say to lightly support the engine under the gearbox.
@@SixplusonemediaAu yeah, I would think supporting the engine would make it easier to relocate the bolts as it is a torsional mount and not weight bearing like the others. No harm in stopping the engine shifting when undoing the torque mount bolts. The other mounts I would definitely support the engine weight if they are weight bearing mounts.
have you ever said the torque for those bolts?
probably not, I would say the instructions from Whiteline would state those figures.
Thanks bro, big help 👍
No problem, glad to help. 🙂
Hi where did you source the replacement bushes?
I purchased them locally from Bluhm Designs (Biggera Waters) however these can be ordered through Whiteline directly for about $30.

Will this bushing fit for a 2021 sonata n line
Honestly I am not sure, I had a quick look on some websites and N Line Sonata isn't a current option to choose from. It might be of benefit to have a chat with Whiteline Suspension to see if this model is compatible or if another bushing kit is required.
How much torque on the long bolt that connects it together, that connect the two ovals?
I used a 1/2 Inch breaker bar to tighten it up. It was pretty tight to break loose so was confident with about 3 clicks of the elbow to torque it up.
I tightened mine up until the thin end cap started to spin. Then I realigned it with a monkey wrench. My built-in torque wrench (elbow) said it was harder to loosen than I was able to tighten (apply torque without the fittings spinning), but I also feel confident that it will hold.
How often do you have to grease them?
As it is a bushing used for dampening through compression rather than rotation greasing isn't necessary. The stock one came off dry and clean and the instructions didn't mention greasing. No squeaking or rubbing coming from that mount bush.
Did it kill wheelhop? I was recommended yellow variety of pushings.
It is hit and miss. Sometimes there is wheelhop but then other times it spins fine. It definitely is better than stock as wheelhop was quite prevalent in almost any case of losing traction.
Do you happen to know the torque specs?
Not sure on torque specs. You could base it on the material type and size of the bolts if you are not sure. I tightened it to a firm tightness without a torque wrench and is still holding up fine.
Tightening torques:
The 2 small bolts: metric 49.0 - 63.7 Nm or imperial 36.2 - 47.0 lb-ft
The 1 big bolt: metric 107.9 - 127.5 Nm or imperial 79.6 - 94.0 lb-ft
