wheel hop

[YAKUSATURN]

if you want to get rid of some of your wheel hop,then go to advance auto and get a tube of urethane,remove your motor mounts and fill the empty spaces on the mounts with it. it is a little time consuming but if you can stand you car to be down for 24 hrs to let the urethane dry completly then it's worth it.i am doing this next weekend.i had to do it on my old saturn because i was wearing the mounts out to quick due to spraying off the line and this took all my wheel hop out.

just a little do it yourself info to anyone interested.

did you even look at them yet? they're pretty beefy

[goofyguy]

beefy or not they suck pretty bad. The mod will do the best on the rear transmission mount and the large one on the passenger side. Good secret been using for years on my older cars.

if you plan to drive any vehicle hard, you should get upgraded motor mounts....

if you plan to drag race your car, your a dumbass if you dont have upgraded motor mounts.

you will blow axels and just wreak havok on your drivetrain.

well, then, consider me a dumbass, because i have urethane in my motor mounts and leave smooth burn lines. my transmission and axles don't seem to mind too much, either. but then again, it IS a dodge....

well, i won't be doing the urethane deal, i'm going to make a strut bar that mounts to the block to take the stress off of the mounts, and achieve the same effect...

so i'm a dumbass

Hey, that's my idea dumbass.....

Oh, I guess that makes me a dumbass also.

i guess we're a couple of regular dumbasses...

with a bar like that, we'll never have to get new motor mounts....

edit: never say never, but not for a long time

let me edit,

you need something that doesnt allow the engine to dive back and forth like a retard on a crashing plane

[Jim Lewis]

A strut bar isn't going to help wheel hop - wheel hop is happening because the springs are not very stiff, allowing the wheels to bounce, the tires aren't very sticky, allowing them to spin instead of hook up, and the engine mounts are allowing rotational movement of the engine. Also, the lack of LSD causes traction transfer side to side, which is the primary contributor to wheel hop.
