Rear alignment specs didn't change.

 

Do you have proof to back that up? My proof indicates that it did change.

 

Wanted to say thanks for posting this info, Thank you.

 

You're most welcome!

 

How hard was it to put the lsd diff in cheers?

It was a bit involved, but nothing that a professional mechanic couldn't handle. It involves removing the rear CV axles along with the brakes and spindle, marking where your current alignment specs are, but I'm not sure if the springs and shocks have to come off. I don't believe they do but I wasn't there to watch the entire process because I had to be at work during the day.

If you have never removed CV axles before, I would not recommend taking this on without a car lift. Standing underneath your car when doing the work is a lot easier than being on your back with the car on jack stands. If you have a trusty mechanic, I would certainly have him do it.

After my mechanic was finished with the job, he said if he had to do it again, it would only take him 2.5 hours. The first time took about 4.5 because he was studying while removing parts in order to keep track of everything. I actually asked him to go slow since it was my car

 

That doesnt sound that bad, might be something i have to consider...

It's not bad at all really. And well worth it.

 

Did your mechanic need a special tool?

I was fortunate enough to get the full 2013 Genesis wheel alignment specs that you can take to your trusty alignment shop in the case that you need it. I had mine checked at my mechanic shop because of my LSD swap, so I needed to double check that the wheels were aligned after all was put back together.

I called a well known service center, and they told me that they needed a special electric tool to center the steering wheel, or else it would pull HARD one way or another. Is this true? Or can I take it to my mechanic that does all that the old school way?

I had mine done on a state-of-the-art laser guided alignment system. I forget the model it was, I think it was John something. Regardless, my car is straight as can be and no issues given these specs.

 

Reviving this thread to get more accurate information on factory alignment specs. Who knows what they are for BK1 base models? These need to be straight from Hyundai, not from Hunter or other alignment tool manufacturers. Most important is the rear caster angle. I intend to change mine with adjustable trailing arms and need a correct baseline.

 

The rear doesn't have a caster angle because it doesn't steer

 

BK1 alignment specs

 

Can these 2013 alignment specs be found anywhere online so I can print them out to show my shop?

Please look at my results here : https://www.gencoupe.com/general-discussion/742476-wheel-alignment-gurus-does-look-right.html

 

For BK2

 

Thank you so much for these specs.

Forgive my ignorance but what does BK2, BK1 mean?

is there a image where these alignments spec specifically say which make/ model?

I can just see the shop arguing with me saying that isn't for my car.

 

BK1=2010-2012, BK2=2013->

Those numbers are from the service manual.
