The bushing in the housing for the upper control arms could be shot or your torque boxes could be in bad shape.

You can look to have them repaired. I've never done it so I'm not sure exactly what is involved but I believe Wild Rides has a set up as well as other companies. Thanks for the compliment, it is slowly progressing. It is off having some alterations done as we speak so I should have some updates here soon. Good luck with yours.

My car has granatelli adjustable uppers and lakewood lowers and I have no wheel hop. I don't know what angle the previous owner set them at though. And I haven't ran at the track yet either so i don't know what it would do there.

Try another set of shocks, if you have aftermarket upper and lowers my next bet would be the shocks. Like mustangboy said, it could be the bushings in the rearend itself, but I've never had a set go bad.

If the torque boxes are screwed, I'd repair those first, it will need to be done anyway.
