Everytime I take a right turn even semi-fast I get a wheel hop from my right rear tire. I can take left turns as fast as I want and get no wheel hop. What could hte problem be? Strut is what I was thinking, as it does it over large bumps sometimes too. Shed some light on this.

blown rear struts cause wheel hop. Chances are your right is blown and your left is not.

that's my thinking as well. I'm having it looked at today and having the alignment checked. I need her back in superb form by sunday (autocross in cedar rapids)
