Occasional wheel / suspension hop ONLY in reverse. 1995 Z28
MWC Fab9"
Tranny mount long MWC Torque-arm WITH elastomer rod-end to reduce vibes:

MWC lower control arms (Bushing type)
MWC pan-hard bar
Okay I occasionally get suspension hops when using reverse like back out of a park spot or backing up my slightly inclined driveway. Definitely more noticeable when backing up hill. The motor mounts and tranny mount appear to be in very good condition. There are no odd issue like the shifter moving laterally or during just normal driving and such. I will call them good. I have been under the car and the LCA and torque arm are good and tight. I dont see anything else under there that might be loose.
I am running the elastomer rod end on the front of the TA to reduce cabin vibes. Although it has not been removed for closer inspection. I does not appear to be damaged. Feels very tight when tugging on the TA. I am also have the LCA mounted in a lower position than stock on the MWC9". They are in the holes just one setting lower than where they would be if a still had the 10 bolt.
Anyone have an idea whats going on here?
Many thanks for any assistance.

Is it a stick? Could be clutch chatter presenting as wheel hop. I seen it before
