Default Re: Wheel hop issues

Perhaps the shocks are failing and losing their ability to control the axles? Usually wheel hop results from a poorly controlled axle; you experience what used to be called axle windup. My solid axle '68 Hemi Roadrunner had a lot of wheel hop with its solid axle but I fixed it with a set of stout traction bars. That wouldn't work on a ZR-1's independent suspension but it was great back in the day. And usually an additional recommendation was better shocks. --Bob
