Message	If you have really hard compound tires they will add to the wheelhop. Also raise the rearend and check the rear wheels for play in the wheels back and forth. This happens when the rear suspension parts wear out. I think they are rear tension rods? I forget exactly what they are called. If you can move the wheels then that's probably most of your problem.
