Need help with Pedder's wheel hop - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

IOM Black Diamond · 12-04-2011, 09:30 PM

I did a search but I didn't find anything. I have the Pedder's track 2 kit & I am running 315's. I am getting wheel hop in the wet or dry. I have tried it with the t/c on & off it doesn't matter. I think I have the shocks set on click 12. What can I do to fix it?

-do you have an alignment print out?
-when was the last time you did a nut check? lol
Nut check meaning that you went through everything and verified that every bolt and nut was tight.
Do you have any clunking noises like something is loose?

Yes I have a print out, I will find it and post it up here. I haven't done a nut check for awhile. I don't have any clunking noises.

I think we found the problem. You have a huge green tire blister on your left rear tire

I do have a few questions.

1. What is your RWHP?
2. When does the wheel hop occur? i.e. Hard launch, hard shifts, at the drag strip...
3. Do you have any drive-line mods?
4. What size are your rims?
5. 315/30/20 tires?

I know it was really hard for them to balance too

1. I don't know my RWHP. It is all stock with muffler delete.
2. Hard launch, hard shift anytime I break the tires loose. I haven't taken it to the drag strip. It does it in a straight line. When I autocross and slid it around it doesn't do it.
3. No drive-line mods
4. If I remember right they are 20x11
5. 315/35/20

Here is my build http://www.camaro5.com/forums/showthread.php?t=193034
Thank you for helping me out

Nice car!

What are your settings for damping?
What are the sway bar set to?
Tire pressures?

IOM Black Diamond · 01-13-2012, 03:21 PM

I think I am running them at 10 clicks out and 34psi on the tires. The sway bars I don't, I will have to check that.

IOM Black Diamond · 01-13-2012, 08:23 PM

The bolt is in the first hole. The farthest one from the end.

As in closest to the rear bumper, would be full hard. Most of what I see from here looks to be right on. Please try this. Set the rear dampers to full hard. Give it a run. Then drop the tire pressure down to 30 pounds and give it another run. We'll go from there.

Yes full hard. I will try that stuff and then get back to you. Thank you very much for all of your time and info. This is why people should buy Pedder's, 1. customer service 2. best product on the market
