HELP! Ws6 wheel hop!! So heres the deal. bought a 2000 ws6 not to long ago that has a bad wheel hop when the rear tires spin. Supposedly the problem was the pinion angle. Checked pinion angle and its close enought to perfect. Next i got some relclocation brackets for lower control arm. Seems to have helped but still hoping. Car has 9inch ford rear with 4.11s tru trac. Moser 35 spline axles. New spider gears and bearings. Qa1 coil overs in rear and bmr torque arm.
Does anyone have any clue why this thing is hoping? Seems to hop worse when traction control is off

I assume you mean a 275/40, instead of a 275/60? Which LCAs exactly do you have? There are only a couple things that cause wheel hop. Not enough shock (Or the wrong settings on the correct ones) can be one thing. Too much play in suspension is another reason. This is the reason why factory LCAs will cause wheelhop, because under a hard launch, between the stock rubber bushings and the weak control arm flexing, it produces an oscillating motion under a hard launch. This is what I would be thinking about when trying to solve your problem. Are your bushing good at every point in the rear suspension? Are your shock settings correct for the car? Good luck.

The LCAs are from bmr. The tires are actually a 295/35/r18. I got them confused with my slicks which are 270/60. As for the shocks i havent had time to get under the car since to take a look and see. But once i do ill update the thread.

No more wheel hop! Finally got time to jack the car up and look. The rear shocks werent set right. They were set to the softest setting. Cranked em up a bit and now she spins smooth as glass. Thanks for all yalls input!
