Message I had problems with wheelhop and unpredictable snap oversteer. I tried sub frame spacers which did not make a noticeable difference. Next I replaced the differential mount bushings and all rear suspension link bushings with polyurethane bushings which was a fantastic improvement. Wheel hop is now gone and the car is more predictable and progressive. Before the bushings the car seemed to lurch out of corners. The interesting thing is that none of the old bushings were torn or otherwise obviously damaged.

Moral of the story; it's a lot of work, but you you may want to replace the link bushings also. Especially if you already have the rear subframe out to get to the diff bushings.
