Wheel hop

My stock Mustang GT 5spd has severe wheel hop in wet weather. Could it need aftermarket lower rear control arms? If so what are the best choices. This is not a problem on dry pavement.

RE: Wheel hop

IMO - the Upper Control Arm (UCA) does more to control hop (wet or dry) than the LCAs do.

LCAs fix the problem for some but not others. Never heard anyone complain after changing out the mushy stock UCA
