My 94 3.4l Firebird is starting to wheel hop on my start off. I cant tell if its my rear end and i should get control arms or if it is my transmission and i should get torque arms. Any suggestions for which i should get?

i suggest new control arms and a new torque arm bushing. that should do the trick. i have those plus sub-frame connectors. i'm not happy with the SFC'S. and i don't reccomend them...97 CAMARO RS<br />12.9@103mph<br />best 60ft..1.9 ( on street tires)<br /> 1.7 (on gas)<br />turbo supra 12.5@119mph (street tires)<br />new times to come sporting the sp63gt

I would suggest lakewood rear control arms part # 620-20140 from jegs. They only cost 82.99 a pair and eliminate wheel hop.

Yea I noticed lakewood products is the only company out there that's giving BMR a run for the money as far price is concerned. If your car is lowered, I highly recommend getting relocation brackets for your control arms also.<b>99 Camaro Z28 A4</b><br />R.I.P. 00 Firebird 3.8<br />14.89 @ 90, 2.03 60\'

control arms are a must for wheel hop.
i love my subframe connectors, for whoever doesnt like them, i am shocked to hear that.
a traction bar might do you some good also.6s.......under the hood or under the belt, they just dont cut it.

IF the BMR SFC's use your LCA bolts for mounting, then you need to re-torque your LCA bolts and nuts! Too loose and they'll squeak. Too tight and they pop like a cannon! I think the torque spec is around 60-70 ft/lbs. Be sure to torque them with the car level (not jacked up)! It'll solve all your noise problems from the SFCs.Jason McCallister, Founder & Webmaster<br /><a href=\"http://www.wtfba.org\" target=\"_blank\">West Tennessee F-Body Association, Inc.</a><br /><br />2000 Camaro - <a href=\"http://www.wtfba.org/site/view_member.php?ID=68\" target=\"_blank\">Details</a>

I have boxed hotchkis trailing arms and back in the day with 410's it completely eliminated wheel hop (i also added a pan hard rod too)
