Traction Bars and Sway Bars...

How are your motor mounts? A weak drivers side mount could cause a wheel hop feeling. A torque strap could help or a solid mount on the drivers side. We run a bolt through the two pieces on the mounts to keep the rubber from separating. I learned this trick from John at Opentracker.

this is an early 65 but the same concept applies to the late 65+



This is what happens


This is what we do


This is what it looks like when done.

Latamud, are you saying it could cause wheel hop or just make it feel like wheel hop? I did not have any issues until I upgraded to Limited Slip, so if your saying a bad motor mount can cause the same feeling then I should of felt it even before I installed limited slip. Correct?

It could feel like wheel hop. Its a stutter in acceleration, caused from the engine torquing over which can feel like wheel hop. I will say that this might be an issue if your motor mount decided to let go right after to installed the limited slip. To test, you can start the engine and watch to see if it torques over when you rev it. If your mounts are good then don't worry about them. I'm just thowing out the odd diagnosis that would otherwise get overlooked and is easy to test.

I didn't like the slapper bars, great for acceleration but not so much for deceleration. I swapped to under-ride traction bars and even then had some movement.
