Default Whats Up With Wheel Hop?!?!?!?!?!?!?

I see all the products and posts concerning how to fix it, but I don't have any wheel hop. I'm not complaining but how come I don't? Suspension is stock, with the Ford 18X9.5 Bullits.

I've got it bad. Any launch over 2500, or any wheel spin over about the same RPM range and it is like dribbling a basketball. I would imagine that it looks about as bad to watch as it does in that new Mustang commercial.

huh, I launch that bad boy at 3 and a half grand dump it and it revvs up to red line, bounces off the limiter about 7 times, nail seconds and rev limits once or twice, and the whole time the rear end is spinning slick as a baby's you know what, lol.

I have a new set of LCAs and 3rd link but have just been too busy to put them on. Sad part is it will probably only take an hour to do.

I feel cheated. I don't have the wheel hop either...Is there a mod I can get so I can have the wheel hop too?!

On a serious note...does it seem to be manual or auto transmission related...both?

Hmmm....from the looks of it, seems like everyone that has 18" rims doesn't suffer nasty wheelhop.......while myself and many, many others who still have 17's get it regularly. Just an observation......

















...............yep, time for some 18's
