I have a nasty wheel hop when turning right and then giving it just a little gas.. its like the car wants to break loose over nothing at all but just starts hopping real bad and shaking my interior loose haha

Know what could be causing this? tight suspension in back or something off?

 

Have you ever changed the differential fluid? If yes, did you add the Limited Slip additive?

 

no i have not.. pretty messy to do? where do i get the stuff at? gm dealership?

 

If you have the original fluid, chances are that's not causing your wheel hop. Did you lower the car?

 

yeah i have it lowered with hotchkis springs.. also have hotchkis lca's and koni adjustables all the way around... i dont have wheel hop in a straight like just on corning.. and only have to mildly push on the gas

 

You might have a worn transmission mount, or you may need to invest in an adjustable torque arm.

 

energy suspension tranny mount... never thought of tryin the torque arm.

 

Lowering a car changes the rear suspension geometry and promotes wheel hop, although you usually feel it with straight line action. LCA relocation brackets allow you to correct the geometry.

 

It helps, but with a lowered car the pinion angle has most likely been changed. A quality adjustable TA would help also. One with the crossbrace instead of one that still mounts to the trans would be a nice inprovement.

 

ok i will get those relocation brackets... could a adjustable panhard be in order perhaps? looks like the rear is shifted just slightly towards the passenger side?

 

Yes, and an adjustable TA will help as I mentioned. World of difference if you want some straight line traction.

 

Have you considered your rear aftermarket LCA's are binding? (im assuming they're poly).

 

yeah i dunno was just baffling me.. i guess i can get underthere and check everything again.. and the adjustable tq arm and panhard are definitely not going to hurt anything, also the relocation brackets.
