Billy Posted January 12, 2006 Report Share Posted January 12, 2006 WS6, and it's not too modded, but will be, and I can allready tell wheel hop is going to be a problem, i.e. I allready have it. SO my question is, what is the best way to prevent it? Subframe connectors, torque arm, better tires? ANY suggestions would help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrMeanGreen Posted January 12, 2006 Report Share Posted January 12, 2006 Our cars don't wheel hop unless you're launching in reverse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nurkvinny Posted January 12, 2006 Report Share Posted January 12, 2006 I gotta agree; I've never seen a F Body wheel hop. None of mine ever did, varying from 205hp to 450hp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy Posted January 12, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2006 the back end bounces, and the tires are deffiently hoping Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nurkvinny Posted January 12, 2006 Report Share Posted January 12, 2006 Stock suspension? Slicks? What's your set up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lustalbert Posted January 12, 2006 Report Share Posted January 12, 2006 A few hundred pounds of sand bags. If the suspension cant travel, the wheels cant hop....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boost-n-Juice Posted January 12, 2006 Report Share Posted January 12, 2006 how many miles? loose control arms or torque arm? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6 Speed S4 Posted January 12, 2006 Report Share Posted January 12, 2006 tires will make a huge difference. I had horrible wheel hop on my car then i got new tires and it was a ton better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattsv8 Posted January 12, 2006 Report Share Posted January 12, 2006 tires and a bad shock is usually the number one cause of wheel hop. next is worn bushings but they would have to be prety bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitrousbird Posted January 12, 2006 Report Share Posted January 12, 2006 I had a slight wheel hop problem a long time ago (mostly in the wet). New lower control arms too care of it. The bushings in the stockers weren't exactly nice looking, so new bushing probably would have fixed it, but might as well just put a better LCA in; they aren't that expensive.

RUTAN TA1647545492 Posted January 13, 2006 Report Share Posted January 13, 2006 I had bad wheel hop in my car when I had Mich. pilots on my car. It got better with softer tires, but when I changed my TQ arm it went completly away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
