i have excessive wheel hop on my 06 gto. after further investigating i realized my driveshaft carrier bearing is pretty much non existent. could this be causing the wheel hop? i know im gonna need to change it either way i was just curious.

I doubt it. A one piece didn't help me at all.

It isn't helping anything, that is for sure. However, I doubt it will fix your wheelhop dilemma.

Wheelhop is a beast that has been fought with these cars since 2004, and it hasn't gotten any better as these cars have aged and the suspension pieces have continued to wear. The best solution has been to replace the halfshafts with something like the anti-wheelhop axles from G-Force where one shaft has a thicker diameter than the other.

It usually takes a few things to cure the wheel hop on these cars, from anti wheel hop axles cut in different sizes, stiffer rear shocks, bushings, harrop cover, one piece drive shaft or drag bags.

I have all the above. That finally fixed it.


Edit: I should add I also did the WindoWeld trans mount mod, poly motor mounts and Engalls Stiffy engine damper. It may take a smaller combination than everything I did but after snapping a drive shaft from hop I threw everything at it.

The center is a contributor, but not your only source as mentioned here. The oscillations run through the driveline from many sources and eventually lead to hop. You need the multi angle approach as other have mentioned.

Tires are a big contributor also. However if you have a 6 speed, sometimes all the stuff above and good tires still don't solve it 100%. I started with a 6 speed, antihop axles, Viking shocks, drag radials. Still had a little hop. Added drag bags with about 20# and pretty much eliminated about 90% of it. Added auto trans---GONE!
