Need some help! Suspension problems

Hey everyone. Looking for some advice on suspension. When I accelerate hard (racing) My front end makes some clunking sound, maybe wheelhop? I'm not really sure where its coming from, but it doesn't sound good. Any advice would be good. Thanks.

Wheel hop is common in our cars. Not to much you can do about it. Our front ends are not that strong and don't have radious arms to hold the lower control arms steady.

The clunk could be caused by lose lower control arm bushings. If your big into racing you may want to consider the polyurathane bushings which are harder. A harder bushings will hold your control arm a bit more steady but will also increase road noise transmission into the cabin of your car.
