Wheel hop

I was looking for a tread on here about wheel hop, but everyone that had wheel hop, didn't have LSD.
So my question is, how can I get rid of wheel hop?
I have the factory LSD (and hicas if that matters) and on the street, when the roads are wet (maybe when they are dry too, don't do a lot of burn outs in the dry) I get bad wheel hop.
If I am stopped at a traffic light or something and then try to go, if my rear wheels spin at all, the back end hops bad.
The rear subframe is in good shape and from what I can tell the rear shocks are still ok.
So how can I get rid of this? New, stiffer shocks?

if you get wheels hop that usually means

blown shocks and worn subframe bushings.

stop doing burn outs no one is impressed.


OOHHH BTW, if your cars shocks havent been changed in 14 years, ya there dead as all hell.

that was dick. i would say check the bushings, get new shocks, and even spend the few hundred for a vlsd. it will improve the feel of the car alot.



That makes no sense.
