Quad shocks dampen axle windup, axle windup causes wheel hop. Maybe the lower control arms added more traction, which caused more axle windup. But, from everything I've read, soild polyurethane bushings in the lower control arm is a bad thing and causes deflection and suspension bind.
Thanks Fox Saleen 163, Guess its easy enough to put the quad shocks back it. Might try a looser setting for the comp engineering 50/50 shocks too. Also wondering if the pinion angle changed, its a 79 which came with a 7.5 rear and now has an 8.8 with 3:73's. The arms we a tight fit going in as well....
I have BBK lowers, boxed stock uppers with urethane on one end (Steeda style), & new Steeda quads (like $25/pr) & absolutely no wheel hop on street tires or slicks. Before this it was like driving over railroad tracks when I hit the gas.
Yeah, lately it only rains here, no change to nail it in the dry. Good idea to adjust to a 70/30 setting, thanks. They are new Comp Engineering adjustable ones, springs are the stockers. Up front are 70/30 Lakewoods and stock springs. Will also try some better quad shocks like a set of Gabriels. Hope that works....
Only other thing I can think of is the pinion angle out of wack, is there a way to check this and adjust, or do I need adjustable uppers?
