Well when doing a donut or doing a u turn in my car and giving it some gas the tires will hop and sounds like when your on the highway and you drive off to the side those like bumps sounds like that...

Well my question is why does it do that and what can i do to solve this. i have the sways i guess body roll really doesn't have to do with it.. i was thinking the stock tires have weak sidewalls and just hop? any ideas would be appreciated.

 

Get an LSD, and stop giving it so much gas in the corners.

And the answer would be, simply put, torque.

 

well it was intentional because im trying to figure out the problem :D

 

It's a FWD car

 

Umm ive been in a jetta vr6 no wheel hop like that fwd as well.. sooo ill wait for some insight i guess..

 

Soft motor mounts.

 

Well, wheel hop can be caused by a lot of things. Excessive unsprung weight, insufficient shock damping.. etc

In short, if you really want to keep dropping your car over 3k rpm, then try *correcting* any of the above.

Cheers

how are you doing donuts in a fwd car?

 

Simple, you put McDonald's food trays on the rear wheels and away you go LOL

 

LMAO I've seen it done!!

 

I've done it!

But that was back when i owned my 1988 Pontiac Grand Am~

 

^^You look like a total tool when doing it, but it sure is a hell of a lot of fun.

 

Well, it WAS a pontiac anyway, was used to it :p

hahaaha

Cookie sheets worked better though... sparks were fun

 

getting an engine torque dampener will help, too

 

lol i did it in my celica

 

because your spinning the tires and they can't grib firmly so they spin a little then grip then spin a little and....well you get the idea. but yeah, stop driving so fast.

 

lol i don't do this every day... i was fooling around one day noticed it when going on a cul da sac.. and i was just curious what caused it.. i was thinking weak sidewalls on the tires... but i guess ill just drive around with cookie sheets under the rear tires.

 

I already told you what causes wheel hop. So did captainlaziness. If you don't want to take our word for it, try making use of the wonderful search engine that is google.
