Default Driveline bind vs. wheel hop?

xlr8or,

Your post got my attention and I've been thinking about it quite a bit since. I developed a wheel-hop dampner kit for ERA 427 Cobras. It helped a lot, but it may be helping to remedy the situation, but not to cure the root cause. Masking it that is.

Candidly, what experience do you have with driveline binding being a possibile cause of wheel hop? If true, your analysis may tie together something else I was wondering about during my own wheel-hop testing on my ERA, and why I developed the ERA Wheel-Hop-Absorber Kit in the first place. There are some adjustments that relate to what you stated here and I want to tie up one loose end I'm still wondering about.

Can you ellaborate a bit more on your comment and direct experiene with drive line bind creating wheel hop and what was done to resolve it?


Thanks ahead of time for your response.
