errrrrr wheel hop

i got some really bad wheel in 1st gear, and a bit in second. I mean i got 18's with 225/40's on it i believe they r falkens with 30% tread left on it. i dont kno if it is that, maybe my motor mounts are getting worn out???

any suggestions to stop the wheel hop.

POLY control arm bushings will help you out with that also keep in mind your hop problem could be due to your tires and/or alignment settings
