Axel Tramp

Post by Gary57 »

Yesterday I did a windgat pull off and had quite a bit of axel tramp (dont ever pull off like this so never really noticed it). I have polyurethane bushes all round.

What else can I do to stop this??

PS: The tyres were hot, had been on freeway for 45mins.

sub frame spacers,,,

You can never get rid of all of it, but with sub frame spacers, bushings and a corectly dialed in rear suspension you can make it near disapear.

i have really good drawings of them!!!

i'll give them to you if you also organise me a set!!!

i say this because from all my askings about town, i've only come up with a cost that is exactly the same as if you had to import them yourself!!!

thats about R500.00

its when you launch like a Gary57, and your back wheels start spinning. what tends to happen is that the back wheels bounce up and down violently and with such force that they actually leaves the ground!!!

not good for traction!!!!

Veecee,you are looking to get YOUR axle tramped on!!!!
I'm looking for a tramp with a nice diff and not too wide axle!!

I got subframe spacers fitted with Tein coil overs-just long black tyre marks now when I launch hard.
Used to have a lot of wheel hop and then in second the tyres would stop bouncing only. When you look at the marks it was nearly always the left rear that was bouncing.

yeah i reckon the subframe inserts are quite effective at reducing axle tramp.

but lets see what gary says too!!!!
