Default Axle Hop!

I have a low milage (40k) 02 GT, with above average horsepower. I'm not sure if that makes a difference or not, but lately when I spin the tires, I experience some slight wheel hop from the rear until i either lay into the throttle (spin them some more) or get out of the throttle.

What can I do to eliminate the axle hop, as it wreaks havock on my chasis!

Did you remove your Quad Shocks?

No, stock quad shocks are still in place!

I would check all the Control Arm bushings to see if any of them are worn out.

Thanks, yeah, I'm thinking of installing new control arms. Which ones control axle hop, uppers or lowers?
