Wheel hop
I'm surprised with the wheel hop I get when breaking them loose. Is this typical of this rear end setup for a 68 coupe? I would have thought with the trailing arms there would be little if any wheel hop.
Or it's a tell-tale sign of something wrong with the rear suspension?

very careful w wheel hop.... the "loading and unloading" or shock load will destroy a rear end faster than anything...adjust your tire, tranny and driving style to spin tires...and hook... but the Hop... will destroy it soooooo fast..

I put on a set of cheap shocks once and and had very bad wheel hop.
Replaced the shocks with a good set, and no more wheel hop at all, under any conditions.
What are good or bad shocks ? This could be a very long thread.
