Do you still have your quad shocks on? Aftermarket control arms?

bushings could be shot
torque boxes could be ripped
subframe connectors
shocks could be worn/cheapos

many things can cause wheel hop

every mustangs have some.. my car has full suspension and it will hop sometimes

Subframe connectors are not gonna help your wheel hop problem just so you know. Wheel hop happens when the axle is trying to move forward when the tires are trying to catch. Hense the reason we have quad shocks. Sounds like your bushings are shot for one. Do you know what brand you have on now?
