A 93, 350rwhp, new 3200 stall and Dana 44, wheel hop, first run a broken spindle. Does anyone make HD spindles??? Would slicks get rid of the wheel hop???

Thanks

Fred

Wow...C4's usually never wheel hop....C5's do but not C4's...I run a 3200 stall with a Dana 44 and 3:73's and have never had wheel hop...track condition or track prep maybe?...

I know I did not answer your question but I'm thinking maybe it is some other reason so regular spindles will still work...not with wheel hop though...

I had bad wheel hop during shifts with my 6-spd. My brother could see the fuel door bouncing up. I had 100k mile worn out shocks on it.

New shocks fixed this issue.

You'll need stiffer shocks than that.
