Burnout Chatter! Annoying!!
i recently installed a Powertrax No-Slip differential locker, easy installation and it works great.
now, my once one-wheel-peeler can do a very respectable burnout with both wheels spinning nicely.
the thing is, as soon as i left off the brake and the car starts moving as the tires are still spinning, the right wheel seems to bounce off the ground as it's spinning, making horrible sounds and shaking the car apart. the same thing happens when i launch really hard at a light or so, the right tire bounces violently... this proplem quickly kills my burnout headrush which every camaro driver lives for.
WHY does it do this?
is it a suspension problem?
can i fix it by adjusting something?
i need help because i desperatly need new tires, so before i get new ones, im gonna be sure to VAPORIZE and DESTROY the old ones HAHA! :rockon:

Its called wheel hop. Get some lower control arms and relocation brackets.
Is your car lowered? The above mentioned items are even more crucial then, as is an adjustable panhard rod.

cause your not making enough power to keep them spinning really hard. take your pick at lower control arms. they are all great. i just boxed mine, but that's cause i am poor!

perhaps one spring is more worn out then the other, being that you used to only have wheel spinning , that spring perhaps is more worn out.. im getting massive wheel hop but thats because i havent replaced my springs (which are sitting in my garage)
