ok who knows anything about wheel hoppage ????

now that i've installed my headers and exhaust the car pulls a lot harder...and the wheel hop is getting worse..i am afraid to really get on it b/c i know wheel hop affects not only the axle but the whole drive shaft right???

i know Weapon R has somthing available... a damper kit..but no one offers motor mounts yet...though i know motor mounts will cause serious vibration at idle..i am willing to deal with it if i can keep from ripping the legs off my car????

i'm sure many of you have the same concern....is it that big of an issue i do not want to have even think about serious damage that can occur if the whole drivetrain is put under this type abuse over a couple years...

oh and this isn't only a FWD right????? b/c on my last car (91 240sx) i had some wheel hop too..but the car was falling apart after 200k miles....

 

lil' bump

 

my tC when stock had bad wheel hop. now that i lowered it, it feels like it doesnt slip as much anymore and the tires have more traction. i cant imagine how it is for you now. maybe you should look into getting a phantom lsd for your tranny to keep all that power under control. also, the tC is a FWD and only a FWD.

 

wheel hop can happen to both FWD and RWD. Motor mounts play a big role in controling this. Old cars have worn out mounts and will wheep hop

 

fwd do not have a drive shaft, the wheels are powered by the CV axles.

the weapon r damper will offer the same effect as stiffer urethane mounts.

wheel hop is a bad thing. wheel hop causes the motor to rock back and forth in the engine bay in a violent manner. this violent rocking could rip or tear the mounts if it is done a lot.

RWD does have some wheel hop as well, but it doesn't seem to be as severe as FWD's.

 

i think you should invest in the engine damper, theres a thread on here for a group buy at a discount price.

wheel hop is scary...i wonder how terrible it is to your cv joints

 

Just get that Engine Damper kit and wheel hop should stop. I need one pretty bad as well. Wheel Hop doesn't really cause any damage because my friends SRT-4 that is modded does it 10x worse than any TC ever would.

 

for the recoord, both my 350Zr and my tC can get massive wheel hop.

 

upgrade tires - stock tc all weathers arent that great - treat your car the way it wants to be treated and learn how to launch correctly

 

ahh thanx for the input everybody i'm definately gonna get those weapon r dampers....
i'll let ya know how they work out..

 

f1nch, are you interested in group buy for the dampers?

Don't drive like an ___ and wheel hop won't be a problem. Stop trying to lay wheel off the line in a FWD.

 

it doesn't only happen in 1st gear, when you slam into 2nd gear hard you get a pretty good ammount of hop also.

it doesn't have to be FWD to have wheel hop, just look at the BMW M5's (they're RWD and have pretty bad wheel hop)

i really want the WR damper but I'd rather throw in a little more money and get a header.

 

thank you double J....he's right...its not just 1st....and RION if you ever take that tone with me again i'll kill you...

only thing is with the dampers..next problems gonna be "my car rattles everywhere"....soo.. yea..oh well
