Hi Rick,
Set soft - it gets worse. Set firm - a little better, but it still hops.

On my Unique, I had the rear trailing arm setup and it never hopped under load or in the rain. It was solid mounted to the frame, and not in a a subframe arrangement like the ERA has. I like the subframe concept, but obviously things are moving around or "oscilating" as BP stated to me on the phone.

I'd be curious to know how well the Watts Link worked and IF it DID eliminate wheel hop for those cars that had/have it?
