I got a question...
I've been running my car on Hoosiers. Last Sunday I put the drag radials on it and ran.
I haven't ran the drag radials since I put the mosier rear end and minisool in it.

My car left bad!!!! When I say bad I'm talking about shaking... I'm thinking it might of been "wheel hopping" or something.
But it shook so violently all kind of dirt fell out from under the car, the headlight fell out and the my my rear view mirror fell off.
-It just did it until around the 60' mark.
-It did fine with the hoosiers but It never really hooked."wore out"

Is this charateristics of a spool, because it never done this with the stock type rear end?

What other problems could there be?

 

Mine did that when the shocks were bad, new ones cured it.

 

Your description sounds like wheel-hop. Lakewood lower control arms fixed my wheel hop. I've heard new shocks would help, too.

 

so you have a spool, that means both wheels go the same rate no matter what right?

what suspension mods do you have?

you might be needing some soon...

 

90/10's is all the suspension mods that I have...

It didn't do all this before I put that 9" with the spool uder her.
I ran 1.77 60' before now with all this shaking and stuff it's around 1.8 60' with the drag radials.

Now I think about it I didn't have the 90/10's when I ran before all this wheel hop.
Do you guys think it's just trying to hook or something is just wrong? This can't be good on the ole 700R4.

It use to just hook or spin till it hooked. Now it just shakes like hell untill it hooks.

 

Good LCA and a set of LCA relocation brackets will probably fix the wheel hop. Wheel hop is the winding and unwinding of the rear suspension. It's twisting back and forth. This twisting will plant and unplant the rear tires and they'll start hopping. If you get a lot of wheel spin from worn out tires or a slick track then the tires won't grab and start hopping.

If adjustable, what's you pinion angle set at?

The spool just locks both axles together so they turn the same speed all the time. Even if the right rear lifts because of a weak suspension, the left rear will still get full power.

I've seen tubed out 7 and 8 second cars get wheel hop so even having the best suspension won't totally eliminate it. All you can do is reduce or control the wheel hop with better suspension parts.

 

thanks for the theory, I think that's more what I'm looking for.

 

where did you get your rear end and how much did it cost? Im looking to get one myself
