I've used Wagner Thermoquiets for years on my 2003 santa fe and been very happy. However, I watch a lot of utube repair video's and a mechanic I trust doesn't use them any more because of a squeal that can happen after a year or so(mechanics hate call backs). Sure enough, I put them on my daughters 1999 Toyota 4runner, on her 1991 lexus ls400 and my 1996 lexus and they all started making noise after a period of time. Must be model dependent, because I've had no issues on my santa fe for over 10 years.
