Wheel hop on snow...?

Aight, this is a little ridiculous.

I've been taking a rough road to work lately and noticed a bit of a clunk from the front end, and now I've wheel hopped a couple times on snow! Does that make sense?

Anyways, I have OTTP Stage 1 Rotated Mounts, never hopped after them until now. Would this be because of my CAB's? Which ones are reccomended? I've read Poly are junk for this application and this is if it's even my problem.

Anyways, any help appreciated.

Joel

It started the wheel hop ever since the clunk started? Didn't do it once you did the OTTP mounts.... I would check those mounts and make sure one of them hasn't worked its way loose or broken, especially since you've been traveling that rough road. Could be CABs just the same.

I'll check if they are loose when it isn't -25 in my garage Stone629, I havn't even looked at the bolts again since I installed them.

I'll also check out the CAB's. Dang those OTTP ones arn't cheap. Are they that much better than the cheap OEM ones? Is CAB's what you thought were wrong with your car (I remember seeing you mentions something about having really bad hop).

Lookin' like thats what it might be. We'll know when it isn't as cold out (It's -44 now with wind chill haha). Let me know if yours our shot too, I might be able to get access to a press to get them in and out easy.
