Wheel hop fix?
I was looking into trying to fix this, i dont know to much about what causes it or how to really fix it. I thought about getting some lower control arms but i wasnt sure if that would really fix it, and i dont just want to go and spend money where its not needed. So would that fix my problem or would i need to do something else?

When working right, your factory torque arm prevents the pinion end of the rearend from lifting, which is what causes wheel hop as the rearend pivots back down.
I'd get under the car and look for loose or broken mounts, front and rear at the torque arm. Or see if your control arm bushings are shot. Something's not right, and it's letting the rearend rotate.

no, the car is not lowerd. i was about to buy new shocks and springs, still might if fixing the wheel hop isnt to much. and the kit i was gonna buy says it lowers it by 3/4 inch.

well i just checked. there or no missing bolts. nothing seems bent. i even grabbed just about everything and pushed and pulled on it, and everything is solid. i couldnt tell about the bushing on the control arms, but my bumpstops are completly gone and the bushing on the shocks are about shot. bushing on the sway bar are faily knew, i replaced them about 1-2 years ago. and i might be interested in the ones your saling bob if that will solve my problem.

ive had them for a while, bought them used,and never installed., They have no stickers nor a part number on them, but look just like the ones in the link. No pan hard rod.

post up some pictures. are you sure its not lowered. what is the measurment from the ground to the fender at its highest point. check the torque bar bushing in the trans mount. between that and the trans mount you may be getting enough movement to make it hop.
