radius rod bushings are not the cause of wheel hop.

engine mounts are.

stiffen your engine mount. specifically the front engine mount. you can do it by numerous ways. poly inserts from ES, filling it with 3M window weld or bits of rubber, or a complete aftermarket front mount.

ive changed my radius rod bushings with poly. didnt do anytihng. filling the front engine mount with rubber is what worked.

Just to add some info to this older thread...Autozone sells the ES radius rod bushings (they call it Strut Rod Bushings). I paid $13.99 for the left/right side bushings.

Question: will changing or adjusting your radius rods alter the front end alignment?

I have a bent radius rod that has been that way for 3 years and I got a front end alignment after it was bent.

Yes, it will change your caster. You can shim one of the rod it a little with a washer to even it out some. Its something you'd have to do between two alignments to get it right.

ES poly bushings can be ordered in at Autozone or just about any auto-parts place.

Wheel hop is also caused by suspension, with an adjustable shock I can make my car have wheel hop and then change it and have it go away. I also have a Full Race front traction bar. I have bent radius rods that sucked.
