This procedure addresses a repair for a component (leaf spring shackle) that does not exist on the 2016-2024 Hyundai Tucson, which uses an independent suspension system with coil springs, not leaf springs.
Warnings
⚠️The 2016-2024 Hyundai Tucson does not have leaf springs or leaf spring shackles. This vehicle uses an independent front suspension with MacPherson struts and an independent rear multi-link suspension with coil springs.
⚠If you are experiencing suspension issues, identify the actual component requiring service. Common rear suspension components include control arms, bushings, shock absorbers, and coil springs.
ℹ️Leaf spring shackles are typically found on body-on-frame vehicles with solid rear axles, such as older trucks and SUVs. The Tucson uses a unibody construction with independent suspension.
