Wheel hopping, Excessive front left wheel hopping Options

[yozef]

I have been experiencing excessive left front wheel hopping on hard launches in first gear during the past months.

On another forum somone had suggested to check the shock as it may be dead, others have suggested a check the engine mountings.

Since then I have replaced the shocks with Koni adjustables and found out the fron engine mounting was dead so I replaced that as well.

However this did not help a lot and I am still heaving excessive wheel hopping on 1st gear hard launching.

Has anyone experienced this before, I do not think this is normal as I had never had such a problem before.

For the question have you changed tires recently? Does the steering wheel pull to the left when you launch and how high of an rpm do you launch? Power makes a difference, my 5S doesn't put the power out a 3SGE does but im about 15-20 lbs. ft. less so it would be similar, try lowering your launch rpm to 4,000 and see if that makes a difference, also a bent wheel could be a factor.

I have not chabged tyres and I think it my be time to do so so could this be the problem? I launch at 4000 but do not dump the clutch otherwise I do not get traction.

Yes the steering pulls to the non hopping wheel when I launch. But I think thisw is normal since I have less traction on the hopping wheel.
