We love our Sonata, and have had it several years. It seems as time goes by the noises under the hood become more pronounced. First, there is a "creaking" that sounds like it is coming from the right front while turning and/or braking. Second, there is a "puff" sound, like an exhaust leak or vacuum leak. While idling. Also, there is quite a shake to the car while idling. No other problems, good mileage!

The puff noise and the shake at idle may be related. Look for any vacuum leaks of obvious problems under the hood. Is the check engine light on? If so haev it scanned to see what trouble codes are stored in the PCM, that may also help lead to the fix for the rough idle. Teh noise inb thesuspension sounds like it could be many things, strut, strut top, ball foint or bushing going bad or dry in the front end. Might want to have it lubed first to see if that noise goes away. Kind of low mileage to have suspension parts going bad
