Hey everyone,


When I do a burnout my rear tires hop up and down a little.. Is this normal in our cars or is there somthing I have to do to fix it?

Thanks,

Ben

 

It is normal if it is not Posi. It is something that can be fixed. The best thing would probably be new LCA's with Relocation Brackets.

 

any one know if the 82 z28 came w/ posi or not? Just want to make sure mine is not shot or somthing.

thanks,

Ben

 

All third gens 82-92 had the posi as an option mine came FACTORY (as in on the build sheet) with 3.73 posi / 4 speed

ALSO LCA relocation brackets make all the difference in the world!!!

 

The RPO code for posi was G80. B2L and G92 had the posi included in the package. Since yours is an 82, you would have to find the build sheet for you car.

 

Good point look for your build sheet, mine was under the drivers sheet stapled to the foam.. build in Van Nuys...

 

It should be in the console, taped to the inside.

I think a posi was standard equipment on a Z28, though I may be wrong.

 

I think the last owner ripped it out, any way I am going to try to restore the sticker on the inside of the door, it is painted over.

I would think the z28 came w/ it though

how much are LCA relocation brackets ?

thanks,

Ben

 

Posi wasnt standard til '90 and that was with the IROC's and Z28's following that.

Are you referring to the SPID sticker in the console? cause that came out in 1985 IIRC.

 

ok now I wish I could figure out my wheel hop

I don´t have a LSD

but I do have IRS, and something that makes the rear wheels toe in on accel


and my susp is getting weak with 175k miles on the ticker

 

Is there a way to add POSI without getting a new rearend?

Lincoln Lockers only cost a 12 pack of beer

If you want posi, at minimum, you will need a posi carrier.
Eaton sells one for about 450 bucks.
Or, you may be able to find a stock piece for about 100.

 

Hi guys
im new here.
i hada 89 RS with a 305 that had wheel hop. one thing that got rid of a lot of it was adding new rear shocks and polyurethane pieces for the traction arm that runs along the driveshaft. later on I had a buddy of mine who is a welder box in the arm

my 89 RS rear end hops like mad. adding new shocks / struts / springs all around fixed it.
