Tires bouncing at launch

e90m3_6MT · 04-10-2011, 12:14 PM

I have a question concerning launching the car with no TC or MDM, it feels that when the tires are spinning, I can hear and feel them bounce on the asphalt. obviously when spinning in the winter everything is silky smooth, but I just wanted to make sure I don't break anything.

Same happens to me, I get my foot of the gas as soon as I hear that sound. It feels like the rear suspension is breaking apart.

Let off the gas immediately. It sounds like you're experiencing tire hop, which is really hard on just about all your equipment except windshield wipers.

You're going to break all kinds of stuff doing that. It's wheel hop and it's a really bad thing to do. Do a search for "my diff fell out of my car".

That's what I thought, so I let off the gas or shift, but it happens pretty much everytime I make my tires spin.
