Wheel Hop

[Fordboyredneck]

I have a 97 gt with the 5 speed and I get terrible wheel hop when I break em loose, I plan on getting new motor and tranny mounts and upgrading all of my bushings and such to make it tighter. Is there any other products out there I can purchase to prevent this, tighter springs? I don't know much about this 4 link setup. Any help would be appreciated.

New quad shocks and good tires.

I might look into a package from them, how does the car ride with the different springs? And what's the matter with stock lower control arms? What's better about the adjustable ones?

There are great packages out there for "stop the Hop".

Upgrade your shocks and your upper & lower control arms to get rid of the wheel hop. Then you can discard the quad shocks altogether. But the quality of the shocks & control arms is key.

There is no "Upper Third Link" on a '97 GT.

I installed some UPR upper and lower control arms on my 02 and my wheel hop completely disappered.

That's what we like to hear!

UPR Sharad,

You are correct.. I did not notice the year in the OPs message.

Thank you for the clarification.
