wheel hopping ridculously.....help
when i bought my car it had rear end damage. the left rear "pocket" was turned to sh*t from an accident. i had a good frame shop do the repairs. i needed a new rear axle. and the some suspension part were fixed. The car used to ride dang near sideways before.
this winter chicago's f**ked up streets tore the right rear shock mount out so i had that fixed.
here is the problem i've done a few burn outs. and i got wheel hop for days. it scares me cuase it sounds&feels as it the axle is hitting the floor of the car. and it also makes that (thud thud) soundsound on quick takeoffs but, anyway is this normal or should i have this checked out. the car has a weired wiggle to it after turns and in wet weather. any one got clues ideas?

hell yes i'd have it checked on a jig to make sure everything is where it should be. if nothing is wrong try and air bag on the right side to stop wheel hop.
