Would worn shocks contribute to more wheel hop than normal? Driving in the rain today, I noticed that whenever the wheels spun there was wheel hop. It used to be that the tires would spin smoothly on wet roads, but not any more.

My car does wheel hop sometimes in the rain while burning out. I don't think shock contribute since they only dampen what goes through the springs to the body structure of the car. My suggestion is to start modding your rear suspension untill there is no wheel hop or you've done everything there is to be done to the rear end. Start with lca's, phr, torque arm, springs/shock/coil-overs in that order.2001 Arctic White Firebird<br />T-Tops, 3.42 rear gear stock<br />Mods:K&N Air Filter,Whisper Air Induction Lid, maf screen removed, raised air box, Kumho Ecsta 712 255-50-ZR16 tires, BMR stb<br />Mods not installed yet: FTRA, SLP Lsd/Differential cover<br />Near Future Mods: HPP3, GMMG 3\" Exhaust , 1LE Swaybars, Transgo Shift Kit, MSD-DIS-4 w/ Accel Coil-Packs, Turquoise Blue Neon Underbody Kit, BMR Adj.

Torque arm bushing could be in need or replacement. Mine is cracked in half. I have a 96. It was like that for a while. I get wheel hop at 25mph if I make it downshift from 2nd to 1st. I only have 3.08s. Better control arms are something that will greatly help with wheel hop also.Comment
