Well, the one I did yesterday was a 2001, I think the last one I did was a 2004 Hyundai Sante Fe. I would say most of them that I have done were built in this basic time period.
The Santa Fe, actually snapped the rear control in half, broke the rear axle, sheared off the brake line, ripped the brake cable, popped the tire etc, it was a real mess. Happened to the customer on the interstate at 70 mph. He somehow kept it under control, was very lucky.
I personally dont care for these cars, but the reason for my post was not to bash them, just wanted to warn any of you of the potential hazard. If you have one, I would suggest taking an hour out of your day, and poke around with a large screwdriver, and, checking the front control arms just behind the ball joint, and the rear control arms where the two pieces come together, and look at the subframe carefully. Like I stated in my first post, they all appeared to be in good shape, had nice shiny paint on them still, but just literally crumbled at the slightest little push of a screwdriver.
