Odd feel in right rear tire under WOT
I was thinking this might be a blown rear shock? I've never experienced this with any of my other cars, so I wasn't sure. Has anyone else ever noticed this feeling like the right rear tire was wobbling under wot at aprox 0-20 mph? It doesn't do it when I'm at 60 and go WOT, only lower speeds. Any advice is appreciated.

You think so? I know the power gets shifted to the right rear under normal power transfer but I wasn't sure because its 74k on the stock suspension. I have replaced my rear LCA with edelbrock's because the bushings were bad, my next step was COMP engineering drag shocks in the back but I'm unsure of what would compliment those in the back. So long story short I should've expected wheel hop. Any suggestions on fixing that?

Actually the driveshaft torque pulls the right rear up and pushes the left rear down, that's why your right rear is hopping. I wrote a book on it a while back, let me find it.

I do need tires soon but it's only low speeds, I did suspect wheel hop but I'm pretty sure some new shocks/struts and springs should fix it. Now to test the springs and find level ground...
