CRAMMED XR6 Member 34 Member For: 19y 3m 6d Location: Melbourne Posted 03/10/07 10:31 AM Share Posted 03/10/07 10:31 AM Hey all,pretty much since I got my car its had a bit of an issue. when it breaks traction it gets a massive axle hop and ive noticed its been getting worse and worse. its fine to drive normally, but wheres the fun in that in the wet ive tried a few 'experiments' like add more wheel spin. this just adds more axle hop.What to do...?Do they all have this problem with stock suspension to some extent? Or is mine Ive done the bounce on the back of the car test, the shocks appear to be fine. But are they still up to the job?Thanks,MaccA Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/38778-axle-tramping/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still get axle tramp, though not as bad as with the stock suspension.I thought it was partly due to T/C being on, but it also happens with T/C off.f'ked if I know what the solution is, apart from welding struts in place of the springs and shocks Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/38778-axle-tramping/#findComment-581023 Share on other sites More sharing options...

sport Member 62 Member For: 22y 25d Posted 03/10/07 01:18 PM Share Posted 03/10/07 01:18 PM Hi Macca, not sure if yours is a sedan or ute but utes normally have far worse axle tramp than sedans so if you can improve a ute a sedan "should be easier" following the same principles. I have lowered Kings and Bilsteins so I rang Bilstein and asked how the V8 ute racers overcome axle tramp and they do it quite simply by modifying the rear shocks by reducing the pressure on compresion (or bump) and incresing the pressure on rebound. This should also help your quarter mile times. The only down side would be if you carry heavy loads in the rear of your car. I have done heaps of suspension work on my Tornado and the handling is fantastic but I am going to rework the rear shocks to improve it further. Hope this helps.
