Hey All, question? I have installed the STEEDA CONTROL ARMS 05-07 MUSTANG, I still seem to have some wheel hop what should I do to get rid of all wheel hop, I am open to anything at this point. 5spd

Thanks
TJ

 

You could try Upper control arms or a relocation bracket for your lower control arms. I'm sure someone with more knowledge than be will chime in but I think those two things would help.

 

I thought I was the only one with this problem. I put BMR LCA's on my car and she still wheel hops quitea bit. I don't really know if there's much else that can be done to help. I've heard UCA's probably won't help much, so that'd probably be a waste of $$$.

 

surf808 is correct. Reloc brackets to the LCA, and/or a UCA. This problem is quite rare, usually once you replace the LCA's, the hop stops. What tires are you using? Also, a full tank of gas usually settles things down a bit too.

 

From what I've seen the UCA makes the biggest difference. Lots of guys that have tried LCAs and not totally fixed the problem.

Do the UCA!

 

if your LCAS are non-adj the you will have to go with an adjustable UCA. Good tires help and sometimes ive seen a rear sway bar also help. LCAS are the big fix tho.

 

Absolutely correct (2007GT/CS), I had LCAs installed, wheel hop instance definately went down but with the UCA installed I stick to the road no matter what !!! Almost too much, out here with the heat the roads really bunch up at stop lights, my car follows all the grooves exactly, pain to keep straight !!!! LOL

It was worth it for me to get the UCA, price was $169 , install was like $200 as he dropped the gas tank to install, my launches are ultra consistent now and going down the track is tight, but again not really worth it for just daily driving as it issqueaky and a costlyinstall but for drag racing its great!!

 

Squeaky? Has anyone else experienced this?

 

Polyurethane does tend to squeak after a while, it's just the nature of the beast. But there is something you can do to at least reduce the noise. Sand or grind the ends of the poly until it's a TINY bit shorter than the inner sleeve. Re-install with a little of the proper lube on the end faces as well as in the hole.

There's another thing or two that you may be able to do to poly bushings if you're more into cornering and are willing to inspect the things periodically.

I can probably just deal, my dash is so loud I probably wouldnt be able to hear it haha, Also desslok40, how are those M/T's??? How do they hook up and how much did they take off your ET? Do you have them mounted on the factory 17's?
Thanks, Scott
