Question Has anyone here installed Roush Wheel Hop reduction kit?

Where exactly does it get installed? I went on You Tube trying to find a video on installing it...didn't find one. (I'm also getting the Roush control arms.) But I have no idea where the Wheel Hop Reduction is installed. Thanks!

Well if you're getting wheel hop, you could probably just install aftermarket rear lower control arms. I had wheel hop on 2 stangs and even installing the cheap 100 LCA's eliminated it completely.

But I have not installed the roush LCA's. To me that looks like the upper control arm, but I could be wrong.

Here's a generic install vid...

This rear upper control arm already came installed on my Roush.
Check www.stangnet.com 02/18/2008, S197 Ford Mustang Adjustable Upper Control Arm Install.

UCA and LCAs control wheel hop. That pic looks like a UCA for another year mustang. Post a link to exactly what you purchased.

Swapping the LCA's is a pretty easy job, but the UCA is something best done by a shop. You also need to make sure the pinion angle of the driveshaft is right after the install or you could be causing yourself major problems.

If your car has been lowered, an easier way to fix wheel hop is to install LCA relocation brackets to correct the LCA geometry.

Your pinion angle should not be effected because this unit is not adjustable, so its set to the stock setting. If you ever get a one piece driveshaft you will need an adjustable UCA to correct your PA in most instances.
