Same tires, AH... but didn't check the pressure.
Oh well another trip to MOMS, shes a lot closer then the dealer,
GOOD IDEA!
Thanks...

Re: My H-3 HOPS
Mine does the same thing. From a dead stop, with the wheel cranked either direction, when touching the gas, it hops...
Even screeches the tires a bit on occasion...

Re: My H-3 HOPS
I've had the hop happen to me twice on two different days. I tried to duplicate it on purpose, and it didn't do it. At both times I was making a tight u-turn in the middle of the street. I know if I go to the dealer it won't happen, so I'll hold off. I think this has happened to me in our Jeep Grand Cherokee on a very tight turn, too, in the past.

Re: My H-3 HOPS
I have it happen all the time in parking lots. Even freshly paved ones. When one tire hits the line, that tire slides a bit causing a hopping feeling.

Ken
Thanks. There were no smooth paint lines, no small rocks, no nothing other then clean paved asphalt. Ran both H-3's in the same area (as close as possible), same speed, etc...
I am gona check the tire pressure in the Gray H-3. I had just adjusted the pressure in the Yellow Duck to 40psi. Both H-3's had cold tires altho the Gray one may have been slightly warm.
I will check the gas tanks to see if both have around similar gas weights altho I don't see how that would effect it.
I will advise and still seek any additional thoughts and comments.
Thanks everyone
