Wheel Hop Clamping Leaf Springs

340sFastback said
My ESPO replacement springs started wheel hopping after I swapped T56 Magnum 6 speed.

So I clamped the forward most two leaf springs which solved majority of it. On some surfaces no wheel hop, other surfaces a minor shutter barely noticable.

So decided to take some 1/4 inch plate and reinforce the top leaf spring further. That should prevent that top leaf from flexing. The plate has a slight bend to hug the curve of the leaf spring.

Oh and I would not torque your clamps any farther than the spring plates. That's 45 LBFT. If you over torque them, you will clamp the springs together too tightly and they cannot slip.
