Default Wheel hop after hitting second...

Hey guys, maybe you could help me out with a problem I'm having. Everything I powershift and grab second, I chirp the tires (sweet). But I also get a ton of wheel-hop (booooo). What can I do to help this problem? LCA's? Panhard? Thanks in advance!!

You usually dont get wheel hop from a chirp. Are you sure thats what it is and not something else? Like maybe a y-pipe or trans mount? You'd have to be pulling 20 feet of rubber in second to induce it I would think so I dont think thats your problem.

I think it's wheel hop, but I can't be 100% sure because I am not seeing it from the outside. When I hit second, I hear the tires bark, then stop, then bark, then stop, etc. I just assumed it was wheel hop. What does it sound like?

Well you said you chirp second. You didnt say your smoking them in second and its hopping. Theres a difference. Yes if your spinning them freeely in second and they're grabbing and letting go then your having issues.
