tackle the issue at hand. are your brackets welded? are the lca's nice and tight? if they are and u still have wheel hop, then yes look into a torque arm. UMI is the best one for the price FWIW.

Hi Folks
had real bad wheel hop - changed the LCA, add a relocation bracket, adjustable PAN and 315 drag radials - I believe the tires made the biggest difference. The torque arm is very important but it looks strong - try changing the front bushing.

yea i have the brackets welded and i have the arms in the lowest hole..when i first got the arms put on after a week of driving the nuts came loose so the day b4 i went to the track i jacked my car up and completly tightend the hell out of my bolts and just put some thres locker on there to help them fom coming loose...but threre is still a little bit of clunking coming form the left lca...i think its the stock bolts because i noticed that the bolt was slightly thicker near the head then the middle was thinner...which i think is allowing play in the bushing..i guess i should go look 4 new hardware

post what you do to fix it....im interested.....i just got my car back and it has wheel hop bad and i was looking at maybe changing some suspension parts....from what ive been reading seems like TA is best choice over springs LCA and so on....i already have LCA and still hop like crazy...not sure if its cause of locker rear or more cause of my torque being higher than before....way higher
