Rear wheel hop

AlexRaymond19 · 08-26-2014, 01:01 PM

Pretty sure I put it on right. Thicker bushing on the top with the top hats, thinner ones on bottom with that thick heavy washer.

Is it possible to tighten them with the exhaust on? I never really looked when I put it back on (at work now, otherwise I'd stick a mirror down there and look)

There is some good info on wheel hop (have to sort through some garbage though) in a variety of threads on the forum, so you might want to do some reading as well. All I can say is I get wheel hop when I give the car too much throttle too early on launch. I control it by managing my throttle input better. I would hope with your recent mods that warm tires will virtually eliminate this, but if not, try backing off the throttle a hair when the wheel hop occurs.

i have gears and the 7at. full throttle, no wheel hop. i can't really launch the car but I redline 1st in like 2 seconds. don't know the meaning of laying off the throttle in our car :P

is the rear diff bushing damage more prone to MT cars?

i have no hop in my MT's harder launchs, but then, im not smoking my tires either.

thanks for the offer, btw.

think it depends on how often you go sideways, not on transmissions, but the 6mt can definitely launch harder.

i didn't feel like i had wheel hop, but after changing the bushings i realize i definitely did because it is so much better now.

for sure

I'll do it and I'm in the IE you would be like the 8th or 9th one I've done including critical's once lol (I offer driveway install at your place you supply the parts and jack and I will bring my tools. I can do the finned nismo cover + whitelines in about 4 hrs.)

replacing OEM bushing with OEM bushings doesn't count :P so scratch that from your list

How is sound? I read solid diff bushing are very noisy?

AlexRaymond19 · 08-26-2014, 08:02 PM

I honestly didn't notice a difference at all. Hard to hear anything over headers test pipes and non res fi exhaust...

AlexRaymond19 · 08-26-2014, 08:08 PM

There is another method of removing the center bushing... Kind of a pain, but if done right would prove to be a little easier.

Basically you stack the 2 bottom washers together and line it up with the back side of the bushing (it fits perfectly) then you need a huge socket or a piece of pipe big enough for the whole bushing to fit into. You basically go to the hardware store and buy a high grade nut and bolt and and put it together, tighten the nut (slowly to reduce heat, it will break otherwise) and the bushing will begin to slide out.

It could be time consuming, but a lot cleaner than using the air hack saw

I was referring to the SPL solid aluminum bushings. They are supposedly much louder than poly-urethane like whitelines

this worked on the 350 but on the 370 it is hit and miss because our subframes are made of steel theres were aluminum so the press fit and the corosion welding make the 370 bushing much harder to remove

Only other mods I have in that department are swift springs and 11 inch re11's in the rear.

Hopefully I didn't install something wrong...

Thoughts?

And I wasn't laying a strip to be a jerk, just wanted to test the new diff ;-)

U're gonna need more than just stiky tyr3z and a Queeef! I still jump 'em on FIRST & SEC0ND w/SOLID SPL rear diif m0untz, OSG Supa LOK, SPL TRAXshn bars, Y0K0 AD08Rz, L0L!...Basically IRS is Nherent to JUMP!
