The differentials in the Hyundai Genesis Coupes had slight differences between models. The R-Spec and the Track model both came equipped with a factory LSD. Besides the different ring & pinion gears and the open or lsd internals the differential housings are all the same. This helps with enthusiasts desire to modify.

Differential Removal:
Whether you want to change your gear ratio, put in a aftermarket differential, or install solid differential bushings you will have to remove the differential.
There are four bolts that hold the differential to the subframe, and 3 that hold the driveshaft on. Depending on your model the differential outputs could either be spline type or bolt on.
