Has anyone been able to complete eliminate wheel hop? Supposedly Pontiac GTO's suffer from excessive wheel hop. There are a lot of suspension kits and what not out there that are supposed to eliminate it, but they don't completely. I just read a few reviews for these anti wheel hope axles and thought maybe they could be used on our cars? Obviously not these same exact ones but a kit similar to these.

Any thoughts on this for our cars?

 

Are you drag racing it??
I have not had wheel hop.... It just smokes the crap out of tires if I get a lil skinny pedal happy...
I though that getting a better trans mount helps ... or someone here made a "kit" of some sort that help to prevent wheel hop and the trans fron moving around as much.....

 

If you're dragging this car with stock stuff, wheel hop will be the least of your problems.

 

Snake oil, I say!

Is it being implied that the half-shafts twist like a torsional spring? I'd have to think the drive shaft (which is a lot longer and about the same diameter) would do the twisting - if any is occurring.

 

LOL

 

I wasn't sure if it was true or not, but GTO guys who have this kit swear by it. They have next to 0 wheel hop after doing it. It sounded like a cool idea to me.

 

Feather the clutch when you launch... It gets expensive after a while...

 

I don't know much about a GTO, but perhaps it has a big old driveshaft like a truck (that's not going to twist) and skinny half-shafts that do twist...

So, it might work for a GTO, but it may not be what a 951 needs.

(But, what do I know... I though wheel hop only happened on cars with solid rear axles...)

 

AMEN!

 

GTO has a much larger driveshaft. I had an 05 and it had horrible wheel hop. Drag bags made a huge difference for me

 

i used to get a wheel hop. replaced my rear shocks and now i get zero hop.

 

I had it once. Not from taking off hard, but when it slowly began to break traction in the middle of 2nd gear.

I changed the tires, the problem disappeared.

And if you're dumping the clutch to race some ricer at a stop light, wait until you see the price of a tow truck and the transaxle. If youre going to street race, race from a second or third gear roll. Not too many cars can keep up with a modified 951 on the highway, and it will keep you from scattering pieces under the car.
