Pig Posted May 20, 2007 Share Posted May 20, 2007 When i wheel spin in 2nd gear the car is bouncing at the rear. I went back today as the vibrations actually made my rear plate fall off and th spin marks are on and off. Trying to explain it i would say it looks like someone trying to stop without ABS. Maybe a 10 inch rubber 6 inch nothing 10 inch rubber etc etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gamer Posted May 20, 2007 Share Posted May 20, 2007 It is called wheel hop, back in the day a set of traction bars would have been the solution. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could be a lot of things, here's what I've been through so far: - Top mounts - Springs (replaced with softer ones) - Dampers - Drop links - Tyres or wheels I've yet to try swapping the arms, so thats next on the list.
