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.

Finally the Celica is back on the road. This is what it went through in the last month:

Replaced front and back engine mountings filled with polytherane

Installed 4-1 header with decat pipe to match the rest of the exhaust

Removed the Blitz SUS filter and installed the original air box witha new Toms' panel air filter

Removed the resonator pipes in the fender for the Air box and routed a flexible pipe to the front of the engine

Replaced right hand side drive shaft bellows

Replaced brake pads


Results:
A bit of vibration inside but not excessive, but magically all the wheel hopping disappeared :-)

Header made a good difference for to end power but I feel I have lost some torque at the mid range.

Overall I'm quite satisfied.
