I"ve got 2 brand new motor mounts, drivers side and front with motor mount inserts. Jimfab traction bar up front and new lower control arms on each side. I still have ******* wheel hop.

Do you guys think new springs and shocks will solve the problem? I've still got the originals on the car, but from what I understand wheel hop is shifting from front to back and not hopping up and down. Suggestions please.

 

bump for morning guys

 

last time

 

I installed a WR Torque Damper and now ive only got wheel spin

 

I didn't know they made one for the crx

What tires are you running?

 

yokohama avs es 100's 205 50 15's on rota grids

 

I work at Weapon*R and i made one to show people but i didnt get enough positive response to actully produce a large amount but maybe i can make you one.

 

I might be interested. Where does it attach at?

 

have you upgraded your rubber bushings in the lca's? it might help a bit.

here is my fcm with rod ends and i also run poly lca bushings. i only get wheel spin now.

 

I haven't upgraded them, but I did replace the control arms. So the bushings are new they're just not poly or anything.

 

Wheel hop=shitty suspension. I upgraded from omnipower suspension to Tein S-tech springs and I went rrom wheel hop to wheel spin(only a little cause Stock B16's can only spin so much) but I honestly believe that wheel spin is all in your springs. .. get rid of what you have and you will get rid of your problem.

So wait a sec. .. you ask a question, people come in here and try to help you then you have the nerve to get sarcastic. .. and you wonder why people flame you? You're an ignorant ***. I hope you and your car wheel hop into a ******* semi!!

 

Wheel hop diagnosis...

traction bars? yes
good shocks? no... start here.
balanced wheels?
flat spots on the tires?
ect...

You basically answered you own question in the first post. Wheel hop is exactly that. Hoping up and down. Many different things can cause this.

 

I still have wheel hop, and I have stiff motor mounts, tokico shocks, and nuespeed (sp) springs. The only thing that I can think of that would cause this is azenis on wet pavement.

 

try lowering your tire pressure. too hard will bounce alot easier, softer will allow some movement.
