Rear suspension: Spohn first generation adjustable torque arm (slider style), tubular LCAs, lower control arm relocation brackets, Moser 9", Eibach sport springs, tubular PHR, Bilstein shocks.

Issue: I get moderate to severe wheel hop, only in reverse, with mild to medium acceleration. I've tried setting my pinion angle to 0 degrees (normally I have it a negative 2 degrees), I've tried the middle hole on the LCA relocation brackets (normally I have them in the lower hole) and no change in the wheel hop. Forward is great (no wheel hop). Suggestions?

 

Yeah, quit doing that in reverse, doh! It isn't made for that. Stuff will break if you keep it up. I can almost guarantee it.

 

Shoebox, this is under mild to medium acceleration.

 

Ditto what shoebox said.

 

The suspension modifications you purchased are designed to help reduce wheelhop in the forward direction, it's not designed to reduce it going in reverse

 

I'm not sure you guys are grasping the fact that this is with me easing it in reverse. Never had this issue with the stock setup.

 

I experienced the same thing. When I went with LCA relocation brackets, my foreward traction increased but the car exhibited increased wheel hop in reverse. Evidently what is added to foreward momentum is subtracted in reverse. Remove the relocation brackets or quit stabbing the throttle in reverse.

 

What the hell do you need mild to moderate acceleration in reverse? I've eased into it in reverse a hundred times and never spun the tires. However, if I do spin the tires in reverse I get severe wheel hop every time. If your worried about traction in reverse, go for it. I'd rather work on having traction going forward.

 

My reverse wheel hop went away with my new TA. I also replaced the TA mount and tranny mount. No more wheel hop in reverse. I also have all other suspension mods including relocation brackets.
