Wheel Hop

[RCG_Savage]

Alright I noticed that in my '92 240sx that when accelerating through a corner that I get wheel hop. After searching it seems the three most likely things are: Blown shock, subframe bushings, or tires. I currently have Kumho Solus HP4s on 15x7

I'm going to guess that it is the subframe bushing as it is a 15 year old car and stuff like that is bound to rot. How would solid aluminum subframe bushings effect in terms of NVH for a daily driver? Also is there any way to tell if a shock is blown are not with out removing it?

bushings would be the easiest thing to check, and you might as well change them even if its not the culprit

you wouldnt want aluminum on a daily if you value your teeth...go with an energy poly bushing kit

but dont use their sway bar or tension rod bushings, when you get aftermarket sways and tension rods youll get solid ends and youll want these

shocks that are blown might show signs of leaking or something...most of the time though if its blown the car will bounce up and down a lot more than it should

def change out your subframe bushings. i installed solid aluminum bushings and their is no wheel hop. the rear of my car is solid, but you hear road noise and the vlsd working
