I recently put a Richmond powertrax posi differential in my 85 camaro and it has been doing a little wheel hop ever since. I even put lakewood lower control arms on to help it, but it still does it. Anyone what kind of traction bar or anything can totally eliminate wheel hop.

Get a new torque arm also do you have relocation brackets.

Just replace the torque arm bushing. It makes a huge difference from my experience. With my 275/40R18 Eagle F1-GS's and lowering springs with Bilstein HD shocks, I was getting wheel hop really bad. Replaced that torque arm bushing with an ES piece, and I get no wheel-hop anymore..just spin em.

Very nice mod for the $13-14 it cost me, but I'll warn you...its not a fun job to intall it. I'd recommend getting the entire car up in the air on jackstands (on the rear framerails, not under the axle tubes). I just had the front up on ramps, and it wasn't fun pulling down on the torque arm because that rotates the rearend, and it makes things hard when you're trying to roll a 3300lb car thats eleveated in the front.
