Has anyone thought of trying to making the diff stationary, as in so in can't torque to the left to bring up the right tire?
I was wondering if this would work in eliminating 90% of the wheel hop.
During my time at Midas, I was under a lot of vehicles, european, asian, and domestic, and seeing that only domestics don't have the rear of the pumpkin bolted to something. Hell, my Skyline in Okinawa didn't have wheel hop in the rain. I would have to say it attributed to the fact that the assend of the pumpkin was bolted to the subrame.
I was looking at the Tbird subframe and seeing indented bolt holes inline with the diff cover. It looked as if Ford has used, or was planning to, this to do something with the rear end.
I was thinking that if something could be either welded, or bolted to the cover, or on the diff itself, this would limit ALOT of movement in the rear end. You would have to torque the subframe before the diff would move.
The good thing is that you would still retain the IRS, its just that the diff wouldn't be "floating" anymore...
Any input on this?
Thanks,
Stephen
