What do you think the chances are that GMPP will provide us with anything to address the wheel-hop in the SS/SC? Maybe new engine/tranny mounts?

 

Maybee this is just my ignorance but when i put the dc strut bar on my car the wheel hop seemed to go away. Anyone else on here expierence anything similar to this. And please correct me if I am wrong

 

That would be GREAT if it is true! I'm planning on getting that DC Strut bar anyways, I just can't see how it would eliminate the wheel hop.

Anyone else with a strut bar notice an improvement/reduction in wheel hop?

 

It really seemed to work out for me, I got it installed wed w/ my injen cai wed morning leave house in the morning peel out hoping like a s.o.a.b. wed night leave work get on it with the new cai and strut bar installed just spin virtually no hop what so ever. Please someone verify this for me so i dont feel so nuts.

 

Bar shouldn't make a difference, it didn't in mine and if I had to say there was any difference, I'd say the wheel hop is worse. The only noticable difference I saw with the bar is that it seemed to make the torque steer more noticable.

 

The tourqe braces seem to help. It would be sweet if GM made some tourqe braces

 

There is a brace that GM has on the Ion that bolts onto the cobalt, and they say it helps with torque steer. I am going to dig into it a little more Monday at work and see if I can find a part number. It was in my GMPP handbook.

 

i bought a factory tranny mount and filled with polyurethen.wheel hop eliminated
mount is $52.00 and some change compared to $230.00 plus tax for aftermarket mount

 

Do have any pics ? and how about just using the mount we have .

 

You could use the one you have, just make sure you give it ample time to cure before putting it back on the car. I think it takes 24-48 hours for the poly to set up properly.

 

48 hours or more acording to the directions.
Do you have a part # for that mount. I want to do the same thing.

 

with your homemade mount is it loud? has to be loud.

I think the DCstrut bar helped with wheelhop a bit. but definatly makes torque steer more noticable.

if it "went away" you may not be driving your car to it's potential

 

yea i def still have bad wheel hop in my car and i have the strut bar

 

Where did you get the polyurethane?

 

well i dont have any pics,but i can tell u there is very little if not any vibration at all
i used 3m super fast polyurethan and i let it set for about three days just to be shore
i dont have the part # on hand but just go to the dealership and ask for rear trans mount
its 52.00 plus tax and check there for the poly urethan thats were i got mine at. i work for davis chevrolet in houston. its really worth it and cheap ill try to take pics dont use yours or your car will be down for a little while and be sure to let the poly cure for about 2 to 3 days

 

Is this the stuff?
