Default Rear End hopp

Recently when ever my car shifts hard (has a very hard shift kit in it) it rear end seams to shudder and puts on the ABS light. Any one have this happen/any ideas? Thanks

Upgrading your torque arm, LCAs & PH rod will all help or eliminate your wheelhop.

i had the same problem, the whole car feels like its going to fall apart. i put lower control arms, panhard, and subframes on and the wheel hop was eliminated. on the whole set up i think the lca's had the biggest effect on that problem.

Good post, same here in fact. I put hime joint solid adjustable LCAs and PH with LCA relocators and didn't have any more issues. The big rear sway I installed with weld in subframes helped stiffen everything up too. I'm going to have to get a serious torque arm for the new setup or end up snapping my tailshaft with the new setup, damn things aren't cheap though.

Thanks Ill look into that, however hasnt been an issue untill recently and the only upgrade is MSD Cap and Rotor and wires. So unless something is getting worn out or the New cap and rotor (the only one was shot) made a huge differance

if stock LCAs the bushings might be worn out. Check the TA mount at the trans and on the Rear to make sure it is still all tight.

Reducing flex in the suspension will help alot no matter what the car is used for.
