Wheel hop

[Chevyonbillets]

My elky is wheel hopping what should I do to my rear to stop this from happening :?:

I would think upgrading your upper and lower control arms.

At the very least boxing them will help.

the uper and lower trailing bars that hold the rear end on the car are designed to flex for a comfortable ride, but gives you wheel hop i would up grade those with something stronger, like this http://www.hotchkis.net/19781988_gm_ag_ ... _pckg.html
but not that because thats an awfal price, you can find them on ebay or summit or anything maybe not that brand but they are just as good i would suppose

I have never had wheel hop issues with my Cutlass, or my old one. That was with a 307 and with a more powerful 350. Could the bushings be extremely worn and be causing problems?

could be? but thats what i always heard was the cause to that, both my 87 442s had wheel hop, my old one did it alot more, mine now does it a few times, maybe it has something to do with the years? my buddy had an 82 i dont recall that wheel hoping

I used to get wheel hop really bad and I got anti hop bars. I can;t remember who makes em, but I think lakewood has them, and they change the mounting position of the upper control arm higher changing the geometry. Depending on your power output its a much cheaper solution than boxed upper and lower control arms, but I wouldn't expect perfect results with a lot of power output
