hey guys

in the wet im getting axle tramp something chronic

any way to reduce this?

use quater accelerator let clutch out slower:D

:stoopid: don't put your foot down so hard lol.

How are your struts and springs?

Odd but slight tramp will cause the struts to clap out, causing a lot more tramp, causing the struts to clap out even more lol

Softer front suspension will help.

Examine your engine mounts, if these are shot you'll get tramp BAD. Might want to consider poly ones for the side mounts, ie: the ones near the strut towers.

Another thing is the whiteline anti lift kit, I've heard good things about these.

Check your mounts first, that would be the easiest thing to check.

EDIT: Damnit TC, you beat me lol

Since I had the castor kit/anti lift/18x8's installed I haven't experienced much if any axle tramp in my TJ auto. But torque steer is a BEE-Arch! Way more than before. Far too much traction!! Wait... that's a good thanglol

what does an anti lift kit do?

i cant help it...when you put ur foot down it just feels so damn good!

i have coilovers i think they might be set too hard..i dunno

As said already, check engine mounts and also your front shocks.

Engine mounts for sure. Mine used to axle tramp a bit when my top driver mount was rooted. Replaced it with a poly one from megatron helped heaps.

Set your shocks softer and see if it helps.

My car tramps hard in 2nd on boost and I have spent hours trying to fix it, its something you may just have to deal with :cry:

feels like somethings going to blow up!

yeah i get it in my car. it sounds really ****. hole car like bangs and the wing sounds like it wants to break off :cry:

yeah its gay

i just want it to be able to peel off its head when i chomp it but nooooo i get stupid axle tramp clunk clunk boom boom bang

Have you got cheap crappy tyres?

of course i do lol

of course i do lol

well there is probably 80% of your problems..

I've never experienced axle tramp since fitting hotbits sport spec coilovers, and I have very stiff front suspension, crappy tyres and engine mounts completely inadequate for the power my car now produces.

I know it's not a cheap fix for the axle tramp issue, but I'm interested to know if others with coilovers have had the same experience.

and i also have coilovers. i only get it sometimes. raining give it a bit in first of 2nd and if the wheels get spinning a fair bit faster than the car BANG BANG BANG

Whoops.......... didn't read that :redface:

ditto

I used to have massive axle tramp, was a nightmare, I replaced my engine mount, the big one with a RPW one and it has never axle tramped since, it just squeels the tires a bit very much like a RWD car does, no more bouncing and hopping on the road.

I really believe this to be the fix for this mungrel problem.

find a nice lady...

Excuse the stupidity, but is axle tramp that violent shaking that feels like the front of the car is jumping up and down off the ground when the tyres are just losing traction? I get it on hard dry launches or when a wheel lets go in the wet, especially in 2nd.

That is exactly what axle tramp is my friend.

yar, guys i used to know also called it diff-bounce in FWD's.

remember in our rides, the drivetrain is all in the engine mounts, keep them tight, and perhaps see what a different compund/set of tires does and remember, its all in the pedals ;)

Ive been told Axle tramp is a power problem.. Its in the middle stage.. A little less power and it dont happen and a little more power and it will spin.. So back off the gas or get more grunt..:P

Thats right, due to the nature of FWDs shifting their weight to the rear during takeoffs, they are more susceptible to axle tramping then RWDs.

So you tend to get the situation just the right amount of power, which isn't enough to spin the wheels completely but due to the reduced front end weight the tyres will skip'n'slip until you either as EGO said "reduce or increase power" to get out of this zone. Axle tramp can also be worse when taking off with the wheels turned where there is more torque loading on the axles.

Worn shocks and engine mounts increase the likely hood and duration of axle tramping as the wheels tend to keep bouncing (amplifying the tramping).

well thats what ive always been told.. lets hope my new engine will get rid of it..:P
