Axle hop issues??

[VRMS6]

Anyone else notice if you have the wheel any direction but directly straight ahead and you try to apply power the severe axle hop from the right side.....Dayum my 99 Civic Si wasnt this bad.....

are you saying you spin tires when you crank the wheel all the way to one side and hit the gas?

i think he is saying that the car not only spins but it hops. and i have noticed that. i just cant keep the tires on the ground (i noticed my Kumhos do a better job of staying on the ground, my stockers and winters hop all over the place).
Obviously the hop is a consequence of the spining.

Yeah, it's a common issue. It actually happens on both sides. We all hashed it out a year or so ago but after we figured out that there's not much you can do about it, we just sort of let it go. It's pretty much due to soft, liquid-filled motor mounts and control arm bushings and nobody is making aftermarket parts yet.

The Kumhos do seem to help, for whatever reason. Maybe because they spin less.

there is a new rear motor mount from awr... i have mine sitting in my room to install once it thaws out, and i believe racing beat has some new control arms as well though i could be wrong....

AWR motor mount and a LSD should take care of most of the hop your experencing.

Boy... you're pretty cavalier with throwing that "and a LSD" out there. (boom07)

There aren't a lot of people willing to drop $2,000 just to get rid of wheel hop.
