whats this wheel hop i keep hearing about i think i know what it is. and how do you reduce it besides the torque damper?

 

This was from: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/in...=1006052807954

"Wheel hop is basically the suspension gets into a resonant situation and doesn't dampen itself out.

Under acceleration, the suspension compresses. Due to inertia, the wheel continues traveling upward. This unloads the tire, reducing the acceleration force. The spring then pushes back down on the wheel, and it regains traction, forcing the wheel back up."

 

its the chirping noise you hear when a car takes off for a drag, kinda like burning out.

 

Its BAD dont do it. You can brake things if you do.
Best mods for wheel hop are Control arm bushings, and trans mounts. Add a motor mount in there and you should be good.
Dampers dont work nearly as well and cost more then trans mounts.
Any one that ses otherwise is defending ther damper not stating a fact.

all of those things, plus the damper would probably totally eliminate wheel hop. I just have the ingalls, and can start from a roll in 1st, then go WOT without any wheel hop at all. From a dead stop, I get minimal wheel hop, but not as bad as stock.

I would reccomend bushings and mounts though as well. There seems that there is a lot of shock in the drivetrain on this car, at least from my personal experience. Stiffening up things would be a definite improvement.

 

I have the CAB's, front trans. mount and Ingalls and I get no wheel hop.
