Wheel hop hell.

A while back I transplanted a ls-1 into my 94 z 28. Everyything was fine at first, then a couple weeks ago it started to wheel hop if I spun the tires. It does it one wheel at a time , right wheel up, left wheel down then left wheel up right wheel down. Its pretty frikken violent.
So far I replaced the trailing arms for the 98's the bushings are in better shape. I put on new shocks. I also preloaded the trailing arm bushings with weight on the axel. no difference. The torque arm bushing looked ok when I had it off last time.
So what do I try next?


if this is in the wrong area please move it, thanks

Re: Wheel hop hell.

Since nobody chimed in I'm going to say drag shocks may be needed here.Hope this helps.

Re: Wheel hop hell.

I forgot all about this thread. I ended up putting some KYB gas, nonadjustable shocks on it, with a urethane torque arm mount. No more wheel hop.

Thanks to all that replied.
