I need some help with Wheel Hop. if I really get on it from a slow roll it wheel hops sometimes.
I have a 1995 Camaro Z28 M6, Stock Springs, Koni STR.T Shocks, new poly bumpstops, Tires are BFGoodrich g-Force COMP-2 A/S 275/40ZR17. HP upgrades are SLP Headers, mild cam, magnaflow exhaust and CAI. Car has 160km (100k Miles)
I dont know much about suspension so im not sure where to start. could my bushings just be worn in my Rear Lower Control Arms? how would I go about checking them?

From my research it seems I need to get some UMI lower control arms, UMI relocation brackets, and maybe a panhard bar?
Would love to hear how some of you guys solved your wheel hop.
any advice would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!

UMI lower control arms stopped my wheel hop. You only need lower control arm relocation brackets if the rear of your car is lowered. If you get a panhard bar, get an adjustable one. That way you will be able to center you diff if lowered.

Get lca relocation brackets and a torque arm relocation cross member. Might not need rear lower control arms. I had wheel hop on my 95. The lca brackets fixed it and the relocation cross member prevented the torque arm from possibly cracking my tail shaft(did it when it wheel hopped) on the transmission from possible wheel hop after the relocation brackets.

He’s at stock ride height. No need for LCA relocation brackets. That would only be necessary if he lowers it.

Like the first response mention get good lower control arms which eliminates the slop of the rubber bushing. A chassis mounted torque arm as well to eliminate the slop and wear on the transmission tail shaft.

I also recommend you make sure your tire pressures are correct.

Thanks for everyone's help and suggestions. My tire pressures were a bit high at 40 PSI, so i dropped them to 32 PSI.

I went ahead and ordered the following from Summit, hopefully it will be the end of my wheel hop issues:

I agree that all of that is a bit overkill, but I have no doubt if installed properly, that should eliminate your wheel hop problem. I’d adjust everything to factory lengths though since you’re not lowered…
