[Chevelle-list] Wheel hop.

[Dave Benjamin]

I just changed rear end gears to 336 and with the posi. I had wheel hop real 
bad. I did have adjustable upper control arms and took them out 5 turns and 
wheel hop was gone.

I used Lakewood bars on won car but it made the ride stiff all the time. 
Good for launch, not nice for cruising.
