A Different Kind of Wheel Hop

I have an 07 GT convertible and when going over a washboard type road surface the rear end drifts to one side or the other. I have Dakota pickup, which had the same problem and Edelbrock IAS shocks solved the problem. Anybody enconter this and have any recommendations for a cure?

Yes. Back up, get a run at it and put the pedal towards the floor. With more speed you will float over them.

Cool TCS Button To Off!!

This is too easy!! After starting up your Stang, just press the TCS button and head out for your ride! this should handle about 75% of this situation!Seems that the wash boarded roads can really confuse the h*ll out of the TCS system. It trys to correct, by quickly applying both the brakes and controlling the throttle inputs all at once. So the very soft rear suspension goes a little nuts!! Learned this great advice right here at this Forum!!
