CJ,

Don't want to hijack this thread and I don't go around smoking my tires all the time but, is a symptom of poor alignment also wheel hop on heavy acceleration?

In less than ideal conditions, if I make any effort to smoke the tires, the back hops all over the place. It also does this a bit powering out of a turn to (my sign that pushed it to the it to the edge).

Regards, PK

Nah, wheel hop is usually a worn strut and spring problem but balance and alignment could play a small roll in this.
