Wheel Hopping 2002 SS Hi Folks
I have a 2002 Camaro SS, M6 - I just installed a LS6 Cam and Ported LS6 heads. I knew I would have problems with wheel hop, so I installed Edelbrock’s Trailing arms. Took the car for a test run, had wheel hopping after 3000 RPMs in first gear and then in second gear - it was bad.
What can I do to eliminate or reduce it? Any suggestions would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks
Bill

If you look at your LCAs when the suspension is loaded you'll see that they are level or even slightly inclined downward toward the front (especially if the car is lowered). Not good. Add LCA relocation brackets and it makes a huge difference, completely eliminated my wheel hop.
