when i turn right and give moderate throttle, i get bad wheel hop. It's not bad at all on left hand turns, but during hard straight acceleration it's pretty bumpy too. I have a poly trans and torque arm bushing. What could cause this? Could bad shocks do this or not? I'm going to get under the car this weekend and take a look, any heads up on what i should look for?

 

Check the shock and lower contol arms. The only thing I can think of is that something is loose/broken. Otherwise something isn't right in your rear end.

 

well, i did have 4.10s and a takeoff differential for slp put in last week. BUT, the car was doing this before that. And the guy who did the job didn't say anything looked out of the ordinary. I hope it's something cheap!

 

My car does the same thing, ........ to a TEE!!!!!!!
......????????????? I wonder what is causing this??
An info would be greatly appriciated?

 

A couple of years ago I had a torque arm bushing bolt come loose from the metal housing that secures it to the transmission. Boy did that cause a racket out back. The rear kept trying to rotate upon acceleration. This may not be your problem, but check the condition of the bolt anyway because from what you say you replaced the stock bushing and it may have worked loose.

 

good call robob, i did have a BITCH of a time trying to get on of the torque arm bushing bolts back in when i put the new bushing on. I'll take a look at that.
