Wheel hop

Neo187H · 02-08-2012, 10:25 PM

I know this is mainly a suspension issue but I'm hoping it will get a few more people to look at it in here as I know it's a big issue for my with a SC.

Has anyone found a cure for this?

I know for a little while there was talk of solid rear differential bushings coming out for the car that should solve the issue but at the time they weren't out yet so the thread died pretty quick.

The SPL rear differential bushings are available from SPL, just most people don't know about it yet.

I have a set I will be installing this spring. I'm expecting the wheel hop that I'm experiencing to be minimized but the noise factor is going to be triple with the solid bushings. I may have to install some dynamat, or a equivalent material, to dampen the noise factor, in the hatch area.

Discussed here:
Differential bushing

SP Racing offers diff brace to eliminate wheel hop, but some users complain the materials are a bit weak. I'd like to use something like this along with poly bushings.

I'm getting lots of wheel hop as well, and it's on a roll under boost!

The SP racing diff brace doesn't fit the 370Z and is meant for the 350Z.
I have a set of the braces and I guarantee they won't fit without major modifications. I abandoned the project.

Oh yes, did not make myself clear on that post.. I was hoping for some diff support for the 370z market by now
