Would unever rear disc pads cauze wheel hop??

. Cuz I checked my pass side one and the pads are in perfect condition. My driver side ones are worn down quite a bit. Would replacing them solve at least a little bit of my wheel hop problem. Cuz my pass side tire seems to not wanna hook up as well as the driver.
I have POSI 3.24 tenbolt rear end limited slip, brand new fluid just put in, in hope of solving some part of the problem. I hear a bit of clunk too when I start the car agressively from a dead stop.

Also, make sure that whenever you get your tires done, you check the tire preassure. Those ****ers, put in 45psi in my tire that has a max of 35. I checked it with four gauges and i was pissed. Ever since I got those tires my car has been wheel hoping and I never thought about the stupid preassure. Once I got a bad wheel hop and I was scared that I did not mess anything up. I checked my rear end and gears which were fine. My drivetrain seemed to be fine and my tranny is in great condition.

How bad is wheel hop???
Sorry for the rant.

wheel hop while braking or acceleration? i dont see how it could cause it under acceleration... you dont want uneven pads though, i'd definitely replace it. checked the fronts?

and on that clunk, check out your transmission mount, thats almost always the source of those clunks.

New mount in, no clunks. Thanks.

High tire preassure 45 instead of less than 35psi.
Freaking shops do that around here. They will jam up the preassure and welcome you with open hands when your middle thread is gone. Bastards.
