Title: Alignment 2013 GDE I30 Tourer 1.6D Elite
Post by: Jingle on December 20, 2016, 10:31:51

I have 2 questions after an alignment today.

Was told that the caster cannot be adjusted, is this correct ?

Alignment details report shows i30/Elantra Neos : 2012- (GD).  Does this correctly apply to my model ?

The i30 is called the Elantra GT in North America, and the alignment machines probably have American software in them, but adjusted for RHD.
I'm unsure about the castor,  but I think that's correct. Just toe and camber settings on the front.
Someone else will chime in with more info.

I seem to recall a few members fitting an inexpensive camber kit to some FD (series 1 i30's) but didn't realise the GD had the same arrangement as the FD, out of the factory!  :undecided:

On 5-door Hatch you have front toe adjustment only. Rear is torsion beam and fixed.

3-door and CW are Czech built and have Independent rear suspension. This has toe and camber on the rear but still only toe on front. But this doesn't apply to your SR.

You can have camber pins installed on front but im not a big fan of how they are installed and you risk voiding warranty on front suspension.
