when i try to spin my tires, they wont squeal AT ALL and they car has a terrible vibration, like crazy wheel hop or something. the car used to spin tire but it had to sit for a year and i replaced clutch, axels, and put on rims with some nice rubber, and it seems the problem has happened since then. even when shifting hard into second it wont chirp the tires like it used to it just kinda wheelhops. ive heard many things that this could be because of the wide sumitomo HTRZ tires, bad motor mounts, messed up clutch or axle etc... i know the tires are balanced too. what does this sound like it could be?

a couple of things that i can think of right off the bat are, with new tires u have more grip. if u put larger wheels on then the car cannot spin the larger wheel like it did the smaller wheel. and lastly that u put in a clutch that cannot up to par and isnt puttin the power to the wheels. the same can prolly be said for the axles also. just a thought

i replaced the clutch with a ram HDX racing clutch so is it possible maybe its catching a little too much or something? Something else i was thinking of was i had a friend help me install the axels and didnt use a ball joint seperator and im assuming just yanked them out, could it be bad ball joints causing this?

bad balljoints mean shit..that def wouldnt be the issue. Like said above, techniclly you have no issue. Just new tires, if you went from 195, to 205 thats it. |
