Hi guys. Been searching a lot regarding wheel hopping.

So my s3 has really nasty wheel hop when accelerating aggressively.

Does anyone have any experience with this themselves?

I’ve heard dogbone mounts might help? Also anti lift kits? Or could it be my haldex?

Any good suggestions?

Never experienced wheel hop on my S3..I would say you need to look at the Haldex.

If it's the front wheels hopping on hard acceleration from stand still its almost certainly the haldex pump. Had the exact symptoms. Blocked filter gauze wrote the pump off.
