Alignment Specs?

[NorcalJohn]

Do we have alignment specs yet for the Stinger GT?

Car is stuck at the suspension shop untill we get alignment specs, if anyone has a contact in Kia service it would be very helpful.

Did you call the Kia Stinger Customer Service line?

not yet, there was a user that was having his/her stinger realigned as it came out of spec from the factory. Don't think there has been an update on it yet.

High suspension type?

 

[Killa200]

I was wondering that myself, and the only reference I can find in the manual links "high suspension" type to the 19" wheels.

 

[DaJackson]

So it looks like the normal suspension is the lowest, then high suspension then the AWD is a 1/4inch higher than the RWD.

If the "high suspension" is AWD then the camber is lower - that sucks...

There is 2WD and AWD listed for the “high suspension”

Thanks.

"Camber bolts" or "crash bolts" have often been manufactured to help dial camber into spec after the car's suffered an impact. I wonder if they are possiblities here. The fact some have been maintaining that camber can't be adjusted has me really curious. I like -1.5 - -2.0 camber for my driving style - even though all the roads around here are straight. LOL

Hey All,

Was there ever a solid determination of what qualifies as "High Suspension Type"?

Swapping back to summer rubber soon, and the tire shop will check the alignment for free. Want to make sure they know what they're checking for, lol.

Have anyone got readings from their alignment spec to show? Mine seems to go left once I let go of the steering wheel. Could be due to road crown but just wanna see if others here face similar issues.

Another owner here in Singapore faced the same issue, brought it back in to C&C and they did an alignment and adjustments. Seems to have fixed the issue.

Hi Robs! Great... Nice to hear from a fellow Singapore Stinger owner! You brought to Pandan or Leng Kee?

The owner brought it into Leng Kee i believe. Bring it up with your SE and get him/her to flag it as an issue and to book you in for an alignment to adjust.

Thanks... for the update!

So finally the high suspension type is with 19" wheels?
I have just had my wheel alignment and adjustments done but the local shop used Genesis as a reference but it seems the data is different from posted here. thanks for your help.

Guys,
Can you share your wheel alignment specs? Would be of great help.
