2021 Hyundai Palisade — driver seat clicks during left-right transitions — second opinion before I spend money

2021 Hyundai Palisade Limited, about 56,000 miles. I can feel a small click through the seat base in corners.

I wouldn't throw parts yet. Two 2021 Hyundai Palisades can feel identical and have different causes, so measure before you copy someone else's repair. You'll know quickly if you're on the wrong tree. Was this after sitting overnight? I already checked the easy fluid levels.

Quick add on that: Loaded-suspension checks on the 2021 Hyundai Palisade catch play that a wheels-hanging inspection misses. Save the big job until that test fails. On “driver seat clicks during left-right transitions —,” that was the fork that mattered for me. I'd want that in writing, not as a promise. I'm keeping receipts and dates in one folder.

I'd want a measurement, not a hunch. A pressure test beats staring at a dry driveway if the 2021 Hyundai Palisade is losing coolant with no puddle. Don't erase codes until someone who can help has seen them. This is from a 2021 Hyundai Palisade in Los Angeles with 56,000 miles. Had a similar mess a couple years ago and that's what finally sorted it. I'd sleep better after that step, even if it finds nothing. I'd rather look cautious in this thread than stuck later.

This is usually cheaper to test than to guess. Move a coil or plug on the 2021 Hyundai Palisade if it's cylinder-specific and see whether the code follows. You'll know quickly if you're on the wrong tree. If they can't show the line item, I assume it's hiding. Wrote this up on my lunch break.
