Hyundai Genesis Sedan 2015 camber is off and car drifts left, but no adjustment

Maintenance/Repairs

I own a 2015 Hyundai Genesis 3.8L AWD Sedan with 53,000 miles. When driving on highways I find that it drifts slightly to the left. Two alignment centers told me that the camber for the right front wheel is off, measuring -1.3 degrees (compared with the spec of -0.5 +/- 0.5 degrees). I’ve also been told that camber is not adjustable on my car. My trusted mechanic could find nothing loose in the suspension and isn’t able to determine whether any of the parts are slightly bent. He told me that the minor camber misalignment won’t affect the wear on the tires, basically that I’ll have to live with it. However, I find that correcting for the drift on long trips becomes tiring and may contribute to pain in my (old) neck. Any suggestions for fixing this?
Thank you

Just a thought…
check to see if the left side brake pads are wearing more than the right side. if they are then that could be the cause of the pull to one side.

Have a camber kit installed to adjust the camber.

Does the coupe use the same suspension as the sedan?? (don’t feel like looking it up)

What is the camber on the left side?? Can you post a pic of the alignment sheet??

Sometimes (not sure about yours) you can do a cradle shift to get cross camber in spec…

Worst case, add 2-3 psi in the left tire and lower the right 2-3psi (total 5psi combined, starting from the correct psi) and see if that helps any…

That kit won’t work for the OP. The sedan does not have a strut suspension like the coupe. That kit only works for the coupe.

The sedan uses a multi-link design similar to Audis

I have not found a camber kit for the sedan.

I think that might be the only option.

The sedan engine cradle and lower control arms… And uppers and coil-over shock and mount on the other side.

Loosen the cradle bolts get out the prybars…

Ding - Ding - DING!!!

Was thinking the same thing. So I’m not only about tires, pressures etc.

I asked if a cradle shift would help the left drift in my Honda Accord, and my local aligner was able to oblige.

Only a slight left drift now, depending on the road traveled. Nothing some rear toe manipulation couldn’t lick.

Thanks for your suggestion. Unfortunately, the kit doesn’t fit my 2015 3.8 Sedan.

I made numerous attempts to obtain a camber bolt kit for my wandering 2013 Sonata back in 2016, to no avail.

I think the whole "camber kit " thing was a myth, with none ever available, at least not to the public.
