99-04 rear wheel hop

the gillz · 12-20-2006, 03:51 PM

the rear end in my 03 seems to be way too unstable. When the car hits a bump in the road or something the rear feels like its all over the place. plus sometimes when i stomp on it in 1st the car will point its nose in the air, rev up and take a second or two until it accelerates. Its like the suspension cant handle even the power from the V6. I know these cars lack a rear stab bar, is this the problem? Does this call for LCA? Anybody deal with this before?

i never really had an issue like this . . i would check your rear shocks to see if they're blown or something. If everything seems right try for some UCA's or LCA's

the rear sway will help your cause but you should check the shocks to see if they've given up the ghost. If you can push on the rear and the car rebounds more than twice they're hosed. A stiffer front sway bar will help keep the weight from transferring to the rear quite so vigorously but will also add to a little off the line wheel spin if you have enough power for that to be a problem.
