Advice in wheel hop and more traction
Hey guys.
I did read a post about eliminating wheel hop and getting more traction on the rear end. I did post a question on there but it’s a really old post and I don’t think folks will see it so ill post the question here! I was told that a rear sway bar will help and also something called toe..... I can’t find the details. Can anyone confirm what the toe..... is and Do I just need a sway bar and these toe.... Or anything else? Thanks

solid subframe bushings and toe links will help out the most with wheel hop.

Is a rear sway bar worth getting? And what about a front sway bar?

Trailing arms and toe links is what I have. You can also add cradle bushings. Never heard anything about sway bar for drag racing.
Drag radials will give you traction. |

Thanks for your help.
I won’t be drag racing. I will use a throttle Controller and the guy who sells them said to get a sway bar and toe ... to get more traction!

A sway bar does nothing for straight line traction. For drag racing many disconnect or remove the rear sway bar. Like others have said, solid subframe bushings, toe arms, and maybe even add some trailing arms. These will help control wheel hop. Also, an alignment with help maximize the tire contact patch.

It's actually the front sway bar people disconnect when drag racing. It helps transfer weight to the rear better

This is gonna sound dumb but I am very glued up with cars. I am still learning!
Regarding all the parts you guys recommended.... Are they already on the car as stock parts? And there all aftermarket upgrades? Or are they additional parts? Does a stock camaro have a rear sway bar I hope you understand what I mean!!

trailing arms and toe rods with sub frame bushings are a must. Now if you really want to hook....get some 17s on the back with some MT et street er's.....if you bare already lowered you will need to swap out the LCAs

My car is already lowered but I don’t know what Lcas are! Can somebody please tell me if my stock car already has all these parts on- they they just need upgrading or are they additional parts to strengthen and support the car? Is there a rear sway bar on a stock camaro?

Your car already has these parts you would just be upgrading them. Like mentioned already. Rear cradle bushings and trailing arms make a good first purchase. Sounds like you are doing some straight line racing and this will definitely help you off the line. They will reduce wheel hop. |
