........... And pinion angle has nothing to do with it - it deals with driveshaft vibration and u-joint life and has nothing to do with wheel hop or traction.




Good news on the inexpensive fix.

The above statement, however is really not accurate information and simply not true in all cases.

Correcting out of spec pinion angle can stop a lot of cars from wheel hoping in addition to being easier on driveline parts and reducing vibration.

You can always Google "can pinion angle cause wheel hop" and decide for yourself.
