What are the main elements that assure great road holding and handling on a Hyundai Genesis?

We begin this content page by quickly explaining the most important parts that will guarantee good road holding for your Hyundai Genesis. It’s necessary to know that a vehicle’s grip is a science in itself. It will therefore rely upon many points, we will show you below the most important ones that can be affected:

  • Shock absorbers: The most important parts of your road handling, they permanently guarantee the contact between the wheels and the road. They absorb all shocks and holes on the road.
  • Tyres: They are the ones that will guarantee the grip of your Hyundai Genesis on the road, the softer they are, the more grip you have, but the faster they get damaged, the harder they are, the less grip you have, but the more resistant they are. Temperature affects their wear. Their size will as well play on grip, the wider they are the more contact with the ground will be important.
  • The center of gravity: The higher your car is going to be, the more it will lean in the corners and therefore lose handling, that’s why low profile sports vehicles grip better than very high 4×4’s
  • Wheel Alignment: This adjustment allows you to manage the vertical angle of your car’s wheels, it is therefore fundamental for the grip of your car and the wear of your tires. This adjustment is very precise and must be carried out by professionals.

There are many other parts to take into consideration such as wheelbase, ground clearance, chassis rigidity, weight and aerodynamics…

  • Dead shock absorbers: If your shock absorbers are dead, your car will no longer be able to absorb the irregularities of the road effectively and it will tend to “float”, which will end result in a bad distribution of the masses on the vehicle and shift the centre of gravity of the vehicle. You risk slipping in the bends.
  • The risk with a misalignment is that your ground contact area is reduced because of a too open or too closed wheel angle, you will have grip problems.
  • A steering issue: Last but not least, the last fundamental component for good road handling is that all the elements of your steering must be in good condition. The most traditional circumstance is that your stabilizer bar or the silent blocks of your steering triangles are dead. The result will be a delay in your changes of direction.
