how to stop wheel hop

my 1982 fairmont has bad wheel hop has 8.8 3.73s posi boxed top and bottom control arms urethane bushings has 302 5speed need help

sounds like weak springs.

Good freakin' luck.

I have solid bushings in my rear lower control arms at the rear, a spherical rod end at the front, polyurethane bushings at the axle end of the uppers with spherical rod ends at the front, and the son-of-a-bitch still wheelhops. The old car didn't do it, but it had subframe connectors, and sometimes, you can hear the back seat floor area oilcanning on the new car. I think that the flex that is allowing the wheel hop at this time is chassis-related. I hope it goes away when I finally get around to dropping the subframe connectors through the floor.

By the way, I transferred the springs, shocks, and whatnot from the other (non wheelhopping) car to this one.

Yep, chassis flex can cause the rear suspension to load and unload. SFC's are your friend.
