#2986, "FWD Wheel Hop Maddness"


          

Are there any proven remedies to solve this problem??? I was thinkin a strut tower bar and some new motor mounts. I cant stand putting the clutch in and then being tossed around in my car. It keeps getting worse!! How do u all deal with this??? Thanx.

I haven't gotten this yet, but I've been told it will remedy the problem, and it makes sense that it would. Maybe not remedy but defenitely help.

The AFX Solid Motor Mount at the bottom.

If you are looking for all out race and not worried about comfort, Howell Automotive has an AFX SOLID front motor mount for $75. I ordered the prothane motor mount kit and JC Whitney had them on back order for 2 months and then canceled my order and told me if I want them to try ordering in 3 months. The prothane kit is 4 mounts I think and it runs around $70-$90. Energy Suspension has a front motor mount insert for around $25-$35

Also adding performance struts will help to reduce wheel hop.

Energy Suspension motor mount inserts are front and rear $24 i think at http://www.roadraceengineering.com I have just the front installed too hard to get to the back, I'll do it when i do my manifodl swap. Even with just the fornt insert I see a little difference.

Prothane is inserts for all four mounts. http://www.machv.com I think has them too you might want to try and see if they have them in stock. http://www.extrememotorsports.com might have them too.

AFX solid mount is just the front.
