Hyundai Elantra Forum The Hyundai Elantra Forum. Later models (96-up) of this 4-door share their Beta engines and chassis with the Hyundai Tiburon. Earlier Mistubishi-based Hyundai Elantras (92-95) are perfect candidates for the popular 4g63t motor swap, which turns the Hyundai Elantra into a real sleeper. These characteristics make the Hyundai Elantra a great car for those who want sports car performance with family car flexibility.

A guy I know bought an Elantra for his son as his first car. It's an XD and his son has plans to fix it up but doesnt know much about cars. He bought a strut brace bar for it and for some unknown reason he thought it would be smart to raise the car with a jack so the wheels were off the ground. He loosened the top strut bolts to put the brace on and well, since the wheels where off the ground, I'm sure everyone here can figure out what happened to the struts. He learned pretty quick why you should never lift the wheels off the ground and then loosen the strut bolts.

That sucks for him. But if the strut fell out, it's not that hard to put it back in place.
