Rear end hops at hard turn
When i take a hard turn the rear of my car hops? I dont know why? My friend with an s13 said that his did that and got solid rear subframe spacers. I have a 79 280zx, even if i wanted to whip my tail out at a turn it hops rather than slides any advice guys?>
i have
tociko struts and springs
energy suspension bushings
suspension techniques sway bars
front strut bar

indeed.... sounds like what happens when you weld up the spider gears in the diff. If you still have an open diff, it might be something loose or catching in the suspension.... maybe locked up brake caliper??? "Gets on unduh thur n check et oout!"

A '79 doesn't have an LSD unless you put one in it...
It could be a problem with the diff though still.
Sounds like you have a good suspension set up going but how's the rear camber?
Excessive negative camber can cause this.
Also check the mounts on the diff. If they are smoked, the whole assembly is going to rock back and forth under a load... No bueno.
