I am looking for some bushings for the rear of my car to get rid of wheel hop. I have searched everywhere and cannot seem to find anyone who sells them. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance...

 

one thing i havent seen yet....anywhere. energy suspensions??

 

The factory suspension bushings are very good. Since a number of the bushings on the 350Z are multi-axis (articulating) they are not good candidates for urethane. Prothane and others make sway bar bushings and end links out of urethane.

 

I took my car to the 1/4 mile track last year and the wheel hop was very very bad. This is caused by compression of the rear (I believe A-Arm) bushings under load and the rear tires toe in, lose traction, slip and then the wheel straightens out again, grips again, causes toe in again and so on. I need to find harder bushings to prevent this toe in under launch that causes this wheel hop.

 

The big soft differential mounting bushings are the biggest culprit. We ripped the stock ones just trying to launch our NA 350Z. We put on solid diff bushings and that largely eliminated the wheel hop.

the nismo one's aren't urethane, but they are "stiffer." check it out at mynismo.com.

 

I would bet on Energy suspension. Word is if they don't yet make them they will make em custom for you at a reasonable charge, they make em with grease impregnated in the parts to eliminate the squeaking.
