Hyundai Trajet: Parts-Sourcing Challenges and How We Solve Them

Author: Yehor Medunytsia · 07.09.2024

A Brief History of the Hyundai Trajet

The Hyundai Trajet, produced from 2000 to 2007, became a popular family minivan thanks to its three rows of seats and its ability to carry a large number of passengers. Because of its relatively short production run, however, parts for this car aren't always easy to find today, and some of them are genuinely rare car parts.

The Challenge of Finding the Right Parts

A customer came to us with a Hyundai Trajet, looking for help sourcing suspension parts. While working on the car, we found that not every part is available in polyurethane. For example, we had stabilizer bushings and the rear bushings for the front control arm in stock, but not the front ones. These parts have a specific shape that's hard to find even in the aftermarket.

Why Does Material Choice Matter?

Although polyurethane is usually the more durable material, our customer decided to focus on rubber parts because of their lower price. We offered him rubber equivalents that combine high quality with affordability. We paid particular attention to the stabilizer bushings, since choosing the right bushings is essential for preventing stabilizer wear and keeping it working reliably. (Trying to decide between polyurethane and rubber for your own car? We compare the two in detail in a separate article.)

How We Help You Save

If your car's stabilizer already shows some wear, our specialists can help you choose bushings that account for that wear, so you can keep using the stabilizer without having to replace it. For example, if the stabilizer has 1–1.5 mm of wear, we'll select bushings sized to match it, letting you get more life out of the same part. (Curious how bushing replacement works in general? See our step-by-step guide.)
