Wheel Hopp - Page 2

You don't the the relocation brackets unless you've lowered it.

I have BMR suspension stuff, springs, panhard, UCA, LCA, Brackets........., but you can eliminate the wheel hop with just the LCAs.

Good to know that just throwing on the LCAs cures it... mine hops like a bunny if I let it spin too much @ launch!

I guess I'm lucky. NO wheel hop at all. Completely stock.

Is wheel hop what makes the rear end slide to the right when spinning? I'd like to stop that from happening if I could.

BTW, WTF is hopp?

It's when it bounces up and down not side to side. The tires are alternately gaining and losing traction cyclicly.

Yeah I know it hops up and down, but I was just wondering if the car sliding out is caused from that.

I recently saw a burnout video of a 2010 (I think GT) and it was hopping like a mofo. I can't believe Ford would release a performance car that does that so bad.

I'm familiar with that vid and yeah it was horrible.

If the road surface is tilted to any degree I suppose hopping could cause it to slide. I would be more interested in whether the rear end is centered properly or not though.

Problem is caused by the stock LCAs being whimpy stamped steel instead of stiff tubular units. Here's an excellent write-up on LCAs:

Thanks for that link. Now I understand what the LCA relocation brackets are for. Looks like I'll getting some of those as well.
