Broke the goat today so I was on my way to my grandma's house earlier and got on it and I started in 1st it wheel hopped so I got out of it shift to 2nd then 3rd still in the gas and then it was like I missed 4th.
So I try to take off at the light and the car wont move and you could hear the axle spinning I guess on the pass side. so I got out and looked at it and I could tell the pass side looked diff then the driver side because I could see grease, it was like it was sticking out.
Basically idk much about this and dont know for sure what is broke! Im guessing replacing the axle should fix this but idk or if a bolt broke and it popped out?? so I will have to look at it some more tomorrow morning now that I got it towed home...sorry for a long story im just really mad and had to vent lol

Sorry to hear. What a way to spend Xmas. Hope you can get back on the road as quick as possible and without killing the pocket book. By the sound of it, you busted the rear diff. Don't know how severe without looking at some pics. Good luck with the repairs.

Sorry for the bad luck buddy. Did you stay in the gas while it was still hoppin? Every time my car starts doing it I let out of the Gas quickly. My car does it the wors at the track for some reason ( I guess it wants me to keep my racing on the street )

That blows... Sounds like your gonna be upgrading to some Gforce Stage 2 Shafts lol.... The Hop probably snapped it... Thats what happens when you have pencils for axle shafts lol... Your lucky it wasnt anything major...

Wheel hop is the worst thing you can possible do to your car.
It tears up parts, loosens bolts and ive even had customers say it has popped off radiator hoses!
We have an anti wheel hop axle kit that will kill that wheel hop.
