Thank's for the site address it looks like another highpriced site to spend
money. They don't have a member forum to post on.

Prices are much cheaper than most dealers example
Sorento OEM fog lights Dealer = $372.00 a pair
Custom Sorento KIA OEM fog lights = $159
http://www.customsorento.com/store.php?act=1&cat=lights&item=CS-E9114
So you might want to look over the site and compare prices and quality...
But if you like cheap crap you can find it out there......

I will look over this new site and I am sure you are correct about being cheaper
then the Kia dealers. I don't have much faith in my dealer and his service Dept.
They did not even know where the fuel filter was located thought it was behind
left rear wheel. So much for the dealers service Dept.. I really mostly look for
forums that give Info. on how the Sorentos are holding up. Many have driven a
lot of tough miles without problems others have had nothing but problems.
Engines failing Transmissions failing. power steering failing. Antifreez leaking
just to name a few problems. Myself my 03 Sorento has not missed a beat but I
don't use it much and just have 3800 miles on it since new.

I have been very happy go to this link mine is the 4th one down black with

I have seen this same problem listed before on Sorento forums. They removed the
driveline yoke cleaned all the old grease out then regreased the yoke with a
quality grease. I also have read about the whole driveline being replaced but I
think it was just the way the Kia service Dept. went about making the most money
and not having to really find the source of the problem.

I have had both the driveline replaced and now they have greased it now they
are going to split the knuckle and grind it then re-torque it...
The noise is just an anoying thing it is not causing any problems but I paid
cash for it so I want it fixed yesterday...
I have been getting pretty good service at CAR PROS KIA in cali.

Take Care
