Post by: Tfsi_Mike on November 20, 2011, 04:47:41 pm: Cost effective soloution would be torque arm insert. I initially had the ECS one. I might be talking Garbage but think my VWR lower mount replaced it.

As said, a lot of causes of wheel hop but the WALK kit will go a long way to helping control it.

Title: Re: Wheel hop / Wheel spin..
Post by: berg on November 21, 2011, 10:28:58 am: 4 wheel alignment did make big difference to getting sh*t of torque steer/wheel hop, so you could do with getting the TT wishbones on too
