You either have a busted tranny mount or your rear suspension is ready for a rebuild.

 

or ... you have made a decent amount of power !!! ... look into aftermarket LCA's ..(lower control arms) .. that's
the worst culprit for wheel hop .. in the meantime .. change your air pressure ... try it lower and higher ... sometimes you can adjust it out :\

Also along with the LCAs you might look into relocation brackets for those also, the help wheel hop ALOT, and if your car has been lowered, they are a must because the put the LCA back to the stock angle

 

yeah, beef up your LCA's, IMO...

if the lcas dont' fix it go with an aftermarket TA. No wheelhop with nittos, 4.10 gear and 400 cubes.

 

cool thanks guys bout to get a complete polly kit and lca's for the car...

 

LCA lowering brackets are the magic bullet. I put LCAs in mine, they helped a little; then a Spohn torque arm, that helpes some, made the car alot stiffer, but it still did it; then when I put in the lowering brackets, I saw what I had been missing.... if I has it to do over again I'd start with the brackets.

too small of a tire is useally the top reason for wheel hop, if you have some skinny 14 or 15" wheels theres your problem, run at LEAST a P255 tire in the back and im sure that will solve the problem (solved mine and a few other cars i've seen with wheel hop)

 

Spohn relocation brackets and adjustable control arms fixed my wheel hop, now I just flat out spin.

 

before spending all that money, replace the rear shocks. that is what solved my wheel hop problem. and my car is all stock
with bilsteins.
