    My 99 cobra hops VIOLENTLY even with IRS braces and bushings

    I know. I do let out asap. I didn't try to make it hop, I was trying to enjoy the drive.....LOL One reason I want to upgrade the half shafts is because I many have already done some damage or propagated a crack in the shaft or splines. Of course I should probably stick to the "if it ain't...

    My 99 cobra hops VIOLENTLY even with IRS braces and bushings

    I have the poly bushings and the steeda diff brace already. I went for a drive today and I took off normally (ie didn't launch) and when I got into second gear I eased the clutch. Then after I was already into gear I got on it and it "broke loose and started hoping uncontrollable". I had to...

I had to grind the head off flush. With this done, the bolt basically becomes a location pin. You can then...

    My 99 cobra hops VIOLENTLY even with IRS braces and bushings

    Need some info......... I'm too hard headed to give up on my irs, and I am considering upgrading to 31 spline half shafts and locker. My questions are: 1) Is a 31 spline traction lock carrier out of an Explorer interchangable with an 03/04 Cobra carrier? 2) If so, will the Cobra shalf...

    My 99 cobra hops VIOLENTLY even with IRS braces and bushings

    I wonder if it is worse because we have convertibles? (weight, balance, etc.....) Have you ever heard of anyone breaking (obliterating) their clutch disk splines? Check this out. This happened a couple days after my first trip to the local track after my mods. I was driving down the highway...

    My 99 cobra hops VIOLENTLY even with IRS braces and bushings

    Hi all, I know there have probably been a million threads about wheel hop, but I feel like my case is unusual. I bought my 99 Cobra about 4 years ago bone stock. It did not hop at all!!!!!!!!!! I only had street tires then and I could roast the tires and it would not even attempt to hop. It...
