Default Wheel Hop

My car all of a sudden likes to wheel hop. It doesnt like to leave a smoothe burnout anymore, at about 4700 rpm it starts to wheel hop, would a set of BBK upper control arms, and Lakewood traction bars fix this?

Sounds like you might have bad quad shocks. Wheel hop is one of the things they are made to minimize. Your's may be shot altogether. I put on new KYB quads at the same time as my Tokico struts and rear shocks. Small price to pay to see if new quads can help.

One other thing that also helps the rearend of your car to handle better is rear upper control arms. Ford Racing makes a set for just about $65. I put them in and noticed a much tighter rearend. Hmmm, I wonder if some women could use these?
