Great video Jordan, thank you. You guys sure know your stuff. I have a 2023 Genesis Electrified GV70, which I absolutely love. Is there any chance Munro Live could do an under-chassis review of the Electrified GV70? Would really appreciate it.

I would love to see a short video of that double balljoint set up moving as the wheel is turned. I presume the rear curved arm pivots at its inboard bushing?

Yes, it does.

If you look at the two hubs, the GV has the two ball joints.. the Ioniq has the one.. BUT.. look at the placement... the Ioniq has it almost directly under the wheel bearing area of the hub. The GV has it substantially inboard.. but two.. I bet if you draw out the intersecting lines of the two ball joints.. they end up right where the single ball joint is on the Ioniq.. right under the wheel bearing. BUT you would gain substantial strength and probably better life span with the two joints.. they will experience half the stress, and less motion in the joint also. I wonder on the wheel bearing being incorporated into the half shaft.... could help reduce salt and debris getting onto the wheel bearing from the back side.. in the rust belt you see a lot of wheel bearing failures.. but not the bearing itself.. the ABS tone ring will disintegrate.. and require the bearing to be replaced... so maybe less often replacement.. but I bet more costly when it does need to be done.

Super Video...as always. Question : how can the wheel steer with this TWO Balljoints side by side ?????

@MooseOnEarth

See this video for an animation: "Virtual Steering Axis Front Suspension Found in CarSim". Essentially the lower control arms do not move much. But the small movement they do is allowed by large rubber bushings on the steel subframe side of the two lower control arms.

Smart presentation

I’m curious to see if the ionic 5 N and the EV6 top performance trim have a virtual ball system or the use the single stamp steel control arm ?

You are not supused to replace it.

Jordan, can you try to explain some the engineering in more layman terms without all of the specific buzz words that are used by engineers versed in the topic. For example, the explanation of the use of the virtual ball joint vs the Ionic. I know that I got lost as you kept adding all the specific terms that not many of us layman understand. Good video, keep them coming.

@morrisg

8 ай бұрын

What the goal of a virtual ball joint is doing is to get the pivot point of the wheel in the middle of the tire contact patch on the ground. So when you turn the steering wheel the tires pivot about that virtual pivot point rather than a point further in which would make the tire scrub on the ground more. The benefit is a better steering feel, better high speed stability, and less bump steer (the wheel direction changing as it goes over a bump in the road). But it costs more, so it tends to be on more expensive vehicles that tout their driving dynamics (e.g. BMW, Audi, etc).

are you saying that if one of the rear wheel bearing fails you have to replace the half shaft ? if it's the case this is stupid imagine the cost of a wheel bearing replacement. ?

@celeron55

8 ай бұрын

They probably calculate the wheel bearing lasts about as long as the half shaft. There's risks involved in that of course - if the calculation turns out incorrect or there's variation in quality, the customer pays more. It does lower the initial cost though.

I’m really curious if you could look at an EV6 GT vs. the regular EV6 AWD and do a video like this. Also curious what parts may be shared between the EV6 GT and the GV60 “Performance” like brakes, adaptive dampers, etc. I just looked at my EV6 GT’s front suspension components and it looks like they use these same aluminum parts with the double lower arms vs. the stamped steel from the Ioniq 5. Not sure if all EV6s use this design or just the GT.

Thanks, that was good.

Question: Could a consumer swap in the control arms and ball joint from a GV60 onto their Ionic to improve the ride quality or are the mounting points different?

The knuckles are $1400 each side, $1300 per side for the control arm set so it would be over $5000, assuming it would fit.

Helpful review, thank you! But actually, the integrated drive shaft is always on the rear for E-GMP. No front solution on Ioniq 6 or any other!

I thought the same at first. It looks more like some black goo in some other part of the manufacturing process had a thin filment that draped on these parts.

Eric at 12:01 "...you want me to what?"

what I noticed with Munro they are really good a saving the manufacture money on the assembly part but the owner perspective not so much yes it will save the manufacture money in the short term but not in warranty work if components are not replaceable individualy like this example of the rear wheel bearing of a battery pack that can't be open for servicing or repair look at the old model S they are having issues with water ingress the pack is servicable unlike the newer Tesla cars it all good until the factory warranty is on but once the warranty is over this is where the problem starts.

Yes, I also found that very distracting and extremely concerning since it could mean gas inclusions/voids in the casting which could lead to a catastrophic failure especially if it suddenly came apart at Interstate speeds causing the vehicle to barrel roll down the highway at 60+ MPH. Then again those types of Quality Escapes are what I've come to expect from the parent company. When I see things like that I tell the client about it and advise them not to drive the vehicle until the manufacturer remediates it. I would really dislike it if a client was injured or died in an accident that I could have prevented just by speaking up. In the big scheme of things that part does not cost the manufacturer that much and should not have passed inspection. Then again if a Robot installed it on the assembly line would it have even noticed? Best!

MUNRO live - GV60 is an OK 2nd gen EV car from HYUNDAI group. the GiMP platform was the First (Ionic FC, eNIRO, KONA ). but, the GV60 is too HEAVY, too SLOW , inefficient and uses too many Parts & Processes. its too Expensive for Genesis to build & sustain SALES. LIMITED north American LUX car market. Interest Rates are too high , to even LEASE a GV60 . TESLA is on a TREND in lowering ASP , and granting access to MORE of the Population. the Model 3 RWD is only $31,500 in some states. far below USA ASP. Hyundai group needs to start using Cylindrical battery cells (safer), Structural battery pack and Gigacasting. its Current EV (GV60, Ioniq 5,6,7, EV6 and EV9) are still OVERWEIGHT , slow , poor PERFORMANCE.
