Author Topic: major rear wheel hop pumpkin notch ¯ Member # 5486 posted                              Here's the problem, I took the rear quads out (so my rims wouldn't rub) and now i have major wheel hop in the back when i take off fast, or spin the tires. Will after market control arms fix the problem (upper/lower or both)? If so which ones would you recommend, and if that is not sufficient, what will fix it?

No wheel hop and I've removed the quads. I don't know if just lowers would have done the trick. BTW, I tried removing the quads while I still had stock arms and I got mad wheel hop.
