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.

From what you tell me the tires could be the problem, it doesn't seem like it but a balding tire will actually grab more traction on a dry surface than a new one due to there being more surface area and grip (don't get me wrong that isn't good for curves though) Also try dumping the clutch at 3,000 rpm you'll lose a little traction but you shouldn't wheel hop. Late work on adding more pressure to the steering wheel toward the opposite side the wheel is pulling to.
