basically, with worn engine mounts, once power is transfered to the wheels, since the engine isnt sittin stable, the motor is shifting back and forth all while tryin to put power to the wheels, thus causing wheel hop.

i installed a set of es polyurethane motor mount inserts, goes in the rear mount, and front lower two torque mounts, end result = greatly reduce wheel hop, more positive feel for acceleration, engine stays solid. only con is at idle, the interior vibrates more then usual because it has to go somewhere. doesnt bother me at all tho, cuz im hardcore.
