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. |
