wheel hop.Originally posted by whosthatrussian@May 2 2005, 09:47 AM
Then I heard a quick popping noise, and then was off. The popping kinda scared me, Lance, got any ideas as to what it might be?
That's half the story. Wheel hop can also be induced by accelerating hard on a flat surface with good traction because the shock absorbing elements in the drivetrain wind up and release in a cyclic fashion. It literally makes the wheel jump off the pavement which unloads the shock absorbing elements and causes the wheel to go back onto the ground where it winds up and releases again. The wheel looks like it is literally hopping off the ground.Originally posted by moriarty@May 3 2005, 06:56 PM

Wheel hop in a wrong wheel drive car is terrible! Never experienced it before I got this car.
