Bad (non-OEM) axle causing wheel hop in burnout box only??
Just wanted to see if anyone else has ever heard anything like this. Took my car out for the first time last weekend. went 10.8 on the first pass. But i noticed all day long, while only doing burnouts, that the passenger side tire was wheel hopping. Once i was actually staged and left, it felt just fine. Well, when i went to put my street tires back on, i notice that at some point the boot had ripped and flung grease all over the inside of the wheel on the passenger side. Upon changing the axle i noticed it wasnt an OEM axle. Ive heard story after story about Napa, Schucks, etc axles giving issues. Ive got an OEMN axle in there now but wont be going to the track on slick for another 2 weeks. So i thought id see if anyone has ever heard of this. Thought at first it might be the fact that my guy that did the alignment used the traction bar to put 1* of positive caster in it. Also tried pressures from 12-6psi.
Setup is...
94 integra RS
Buddy club pro suspension
Avid traction bar
100% solid rear mount, polyurethane filled motor and trans mounts
MT 24.5x8.5x13 slicks on Bogart flystars.
All bushings and joints are all in good shape. Nothing ir worn or beat.

Not sure on the axle but the only time I went to the track with a traction bar and had it aligned with 1* caster like everyone said I broke 2 axels from wheel hop and never had broken a axle before that. Pulled the bars off and was perfectly fine. I've since heard when puttin the bars on you should just snug them up. Otherwise your putting everything in a bind
