jsarkis Posted December 9, 2010 Report Share Posted December 9, 2010 Your going to hear a lot of advice on what's worked and hasn't for others. The UCA is the most important piece to cure wheel hop. If your never going to lower the car or put in a 1-piece DS then I would use: The Roush UCA Wheel hop reduction kit cost $296.60 on the Roush website.. If you may ever lower the car or put in a 1-piece DS then what I use is: The J&M double adjustable "Street Version", it cost close to $175.00 off hotparts.com, maybe less. This way you can dial in your pinion angle more aggressively. Don't worry about the "street version" J&M uca, it's tough enough to handle 10 second passes with very little added NVH. I've also heard the Roush part has very little added NVH, but I have no direct experience with it. I did both the adj. UCA & LCA and have zero wheel hop. Estimated labor ($100.00 / hour): UCA = 2.5 hours; LCA = 1.5 - 2 hours Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jsarkis Posted December 10, 2010 Report Share Posted December 10, 2010 So if lowered, would you just do the J&M double adj. "Street Version" LCA only then? If lowered I'd get the double adj. UCA (J&M street version), and the LCAs (BMR, J&M are great). The difference is since your lowered you need "relocation brackets" welded in for the LCAs. Once lowered you throw off your center and the relocation brackets get you dialed back in for maximum traction (there is much more detailed / specific info. on this if you search around).

al ellison Posted December 22, 2010 Report Share Posted December 22, 2010 Does anyone have experience with the Shelby anti-wheel hop rear control arm relocation brackets (at the Shelby store)? I trust these are for the upper control arms. Thanks, Al Merry Christmas! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

- Aj - Posted April 10, 2012 Report Share Posted April 10, 2012 Wheel hop was very reduced when I installed my BMR rear lower control arms/no brackets. Still get some from time to time, but I still have the stock UCA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Secondo Posted April 10, 2012 Report Share Posted April 10, 2012 If on a budget- replace the stock upper and lower control arm bushings to get rid of the wheel hop. Cost is about $90. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terumi71 Posted April 10, 2012 Report Share Posted April 10, 2012 Sean, Do you have any rubbing at all with the 305's on the rear? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
