Drivetrain Wheel Hop On Take Off

[Jorsh720]

On my 90' GT when I take off, it feels like it is almost wheel hopping and I can feel a lurch or jumping from the rear end. I just swapped gears over the winter, got new maximum motorsports upper and lower control arms, new quad shocks and axle bushings. Any idea what could cause this? I am out of ideas since I replaced everything I thought could cause it and I'm not driving aggressively when it happens.

You have checked all the nuts & bolts on the rear end?
Have you checked engine and trans mounts?

^ and see if the control arm mounts are damaged.

Improper pinion angle can also cause it. If the angle is dramatically off it can cause a wind and release effect that causes wheel hop

Wheel hop has been a mustang problem from the mid 60's

I have not had a 'wheel hop' problem with my 89GT, aftermarket lowers, better rubber in the uppers and housing, good shocks and the quads
