Have a 2012 Elantra. Just mounted 4 new Cooper tires. Allignment, balance, air pressure are fine. However, once the car exceeds 60-65 mph, it begins to "drift and float". It will begin drifting in one direction (L or R), then the other. At the those speeds and above, I have to constantly compensate for this drifting and floating. Again, below 60+ mph, there are no issues. Thoughts??

It also may be the cv axles going bad. If you hear clicking when you turn the wheel L or R the bearing are busting and you need cv axle replaced.

Steering drift is a common issue with the 2011 and 2012 Elantra. Ask your dealer to inspect the CV joints, AND the toe alignment. They should be familiar with the issue.

I have a 2003 Hyundai Elantra with 65,000 miles and i just recently found out i need a front right wheel bearing and I have 2 evap leaks. (2 codes came up). I was quoted $450 to fix both issues including a state inspection. Is this a serios issue with my car that has to be fixed right away or something i can fix over the next few weeks? Is this a good price for the problem? Is there something i can do to fix these issues for now that could be a cheaper option? 1 Answer

Maintenance & Repair
I went to try and get this car smogged but was unsuccessful because of a "failed OBD system checks" -my question is what is this the Machanic is talking about and how might one go about correcting the problem? What could I check myself or diagnose myself to get this failed device and working functional one? What would I have to buy to correct this issue and about how much would it cost? Thanks for your help. ~Chad~ 15 Answers

I could upload a copy of the paperwork if needed or any other information other than what I've provided.... vehicle identification number: kmhdn46d44v891036
