Wheel hop is back!

[xagna]

Had rear subframe spacers on for about a week. When I first installed, it got rid of wheel hops, particularly on the uneven corner surfaces. But now the wheel hop is back.

Does this mean that the subframe bushings got even more smaller due to spacers and that spacers are not doing their job?

my first action would be to re-torque the subframe bolts, and see if the problem still exists

I torqued it even more. It exists.

your bushing could have collapsed completely. The spacers will compress the old bushing, but if the original bushing just dried out and collapsed, you're in for it.

That's good news... Then I geuss will have to go with new aluminium bushing.

How hard will it be to take the collapsed old bushings out?
