I have a 2005 mustang gt, when spinning tires both wheels hop very bad, always been like that. What can i do?

When i am at a stand still, dump the clutch the tires feel like they are coming inches off the ground, If i go around any corner and try to burn some rubber more wheel hopping, In the rain if it is slick, more wheel hopping same in the snow... Very frustrating, I brought the car to a couple of ford service garages but nothing,I have a 2005 mustang gt, when spinning tires both wheels hop very bad, always been like that. What can i do?
.1st of all wheel hop can cause serious damage to your car and continue doing that will result in either clutch failure or rear end breakage.



if you want to drive hard....to correct



1.you have to have decent rubber (wider, narrow profile tires with lots of contact area......like nitto 555's or mickey thompson street slicks)....note these are performance tires with high contact points and requires tactful driving in wet weather. i run nitto invo's (size

285/30ZR 19's) which have more tread and provide a little better all weather capability .



2. you have to upgrade cars suspension:

..........lower on eibach springs

..........install full length sub chassis connectors

..........performance shocks konis, tokico, or qa-1's



3. install bigger gears in the rear end (3.73's)



.beyond that you can install some aftermarket control arms (but usually better rubber, stiffer shocks, springs and better chassis set -up will correct.



if you want to drive your car hard you are well advised to upgrade it ....perhaps going to a ford shop (unless they have a performance group SVT approved) will not help....you have to be in a pro shop.

if you continue to drive as you are without enhancing your vehicle i 100% guarantee you will break it.



additionally perhaps practice driving skills, dumping the clutch is not necessarily the fastest way to launch.

stop driving like a complete Moron, and you won't have that problem...I have a 2005 mustang gt, when spinning tires both wheels hop very bad, always been like that. What can i do?
doing burnouts are very bad for your car and it will put alot of wear and tear on your car
Wheel hop usually means your driving style has destroyed the shock absorbers and the rear suspension mounts. This car is not meant for that type of driving. I have seen a lot of these Mustangs sitting along the road with the entire rear end assembly ripped out. The rear axle locating bars are mounted to the sheet metal part of the floor boards and have no strength. When you rip the rear end out, you will also take out your back seat passengers.I have a 2005 mustang gt, when spinning tires both wheels hop very bad, always been like that. What can i do?
rear shocks? poss fit tramp bars.but i agree with the others
Wheel hop is cause by putting to much power to the rear wheels when you dump the clutch. Are you on a track or are you on the street???

Only street punks race on the street.
replace rear shocks, if they are drag race units, theyre too soft.
Stiffer shocks, and springs, and some decent tires, will go a long way toward curing this...although most of the time, wheel hop is caused by driving style....
Wheel hop is caused by the flimsy lower control arms causing the whole differential to twist. You should start with beefy control arms from Lakewood or Southside. Also, wheel-hop is really hard on your differential gears and axles.
