Re: rear suspension hopping (help!) 200 84

posted by  someone claiming to be Michael on  Fri Nov 10 07:51 CST 2000 [RELATED]

On my '87 I replaced trailing arm bushings and torque rod bushings. Prior to the bushing replacement, the rear differential was actually bouncing and moving around. I have a manual transmission, and any time that I tried to start a bit too quickly, I would get significant wheel hop. The rear end just bounced around and created some horrible noises. With new bushings the rear end stays planted much, much better and I can now squeal the rear tires easily without them hopping around. Right now I have new bushings and old, worn shocks, so I would have to say that your problem is with the bushings.

Good luck.
