I think i have wheel hop. It is pretty bad. Front end has lifted off ground before. What are all the possibilities to fix wheel hop this severe?

 

Describe this "wheel hop"..

 

shakes up and down from a launch. sometimes it does it when changing into 2nd gear while driving normal (automatic)

 

as in driving up an incline correct?

 

no..as in driving regular from a stop 1st to 2nd gear

 

like it bounces up and down, as would say a manual that isnt getting enough gas?

 

yes it bounces up and down. what do you mean "as would say a manual that isnt getting enough gas?"

 

wheel hop happens usually when a 5-speed launches when spinning the tires....it causes the whole front end to studder.....almost any neon owner that has spun the tires in there car has experienced wheel hop......easiest way to eliminate some wheel hop is with solid motor mounts or upgraded axels......wheel hop will usually occur because the tires grip and loose traction over and over, due to alot of the fact of not enough weight on the front of the car....
you will not usually encounter wheel hop in normal driving conditions....

other things can make your car seem like it has wheel hop....bad clutch, bad driver, bad torque convertor, bad motor mounts

 

thanks you spudsterier. would a bad bobble strut do it? which motor mounts could cause it? could just 1 bad mount cause it? My front motor mount looked pretty worn out. I ordered a new performance 1. I hope this fixes it. and like i siad its an automatic, i dont think its a bad clutch. lol
