Hyundai i10 Struts

Excessive bounce after bumps, nose-dive under braking, clunking on rough roads and visible oil weeping down the strut body. Push down sharply on each corner — a healthy strut settles in one rebound, a worn one bounces two or three times.

Hyundai struts run from around R315, ranging R149 to R4,500 depending on model and specification through our supplier network. Labour is the bigger variable — front pairs take around two hours. Request a free quote for parts plus fitting on your specific model.

Yes — always both front or both rear at the same time. Mixing a fresh strut with a worn one unbalances the suspension and makes the car pull under braking. Budget for pairs from the start; one new strut on its own is rarely a good spend.

Yes. Unbolting the strut-to-knuckle joint disturbs the camber setting and a fresh spring changes ride height which shifts toe. Have a four-wheel alignment done immediately after fitting — skipping it wears new tyres out within 10,000km.

On SA roads expect 80,000 to 120,000km before noticeable wear. Coastal salt, potholes and loaded-up boot use cut that lifespan. We inspect struts at every major service for weeping, play and the bounce test rather than replacing purely on mileage.
