There was not a trace of "wheel hop" on rough pavement, and the Chevy inspired confidence on a twisting, rain-slick mountain road.
The back-torque limiter automatically disengages the clutch (partially) under hard downshifting at high engine speeds to prevent rear wheel hop during corner entry.
A lower tie bar may provide additional benefits in front-wheel drive vehicles by reducing wheel hop and torque steer.
The two half shafts have different diameters (33mm left, 40mm right), designed to prevent resonance during acceleration and reduce the chances of wheel hop.
In that position they resist dive under braking forces and wheel hop under acceleration.
An additional 5th shock was used on the rear axle to prevent wheel hop during wheelspin.
Higher values of anti-squat commonly cause wheel hop during braking.
The rear end used staggered (fore and aft) rear shock absorbers to eliminate wheel hop (axle wrap)common with leaf spring suspensions.
Later torque-arm rear suspension eliminated rear wheel hop under panic braking.
Traction bars-rear struts fixed to rear axle to keep rear axle from twisting, causing wheel hop and loss of traction; slapper bars.
