I have a 88 Gt that has aprx. 340 horse and i have a terrible wheel hop problem any time i give the car enough gas to spin the tires when going a low speed or when going around corners quickly.

I changed out the struts and shocks (which were still origanal) with KYB GR2 but that did not help at all.

The tires i have a basicly bald but i have not heard that much about that being a problem with wheel hop.

any suggestions on the culprit?

 

What control arms do you have in the rear?

 

they are stock so they have 125k miles on them

 

get new control arms. do you still have quad shocks in place?

 

those are a specific type of shock correct? like are they a type of shock absorber that runs up and down or something else. Either way i think its a no i just put KYB GR2 shocks on yesterday. upper and lower control arms?

 

the quad shock is inside the rear tires

 

thats a no then the suspension is compleatly stock untill yesterday with struts and shocks

 

that is part of the stock suspension. are you sure? that would cause wheel hop if they arent there. you need to buy aftermarket rear upper/lower control arms with polyurethane bushings and that would keep your axle planted

 

o in that case then they probally still there. any idea if tires play into the picture because mine are fairly wide 255's and could be considered slicks how bald they are

 

that MIGHT be the reason...i remember when my drag radials were really bald my car was spinning in every gear...but i didnt get any wheel hop. im kinda stumped. get some control arms
