i got some hardcore axle tramp down at the park the other day, does that mean my shocks are too soft? or thats just what a live axle does when the wheels are spinning on grass?

I get axle tramp on the ute fairly often when spinning in the wet.
I'd be concerned if it does it in the dry on the road.

I usually get it when my shocks are set as stiff as they go. If I soften them off to about halfway, no tramp.

Axle tramp is virtually impossible to eliminate from live-axles. I watched a V8 Supercar slide slightly, and axle-tramp all the way around the outside of Forrest elbow on Sunday. The outside-rear was bouncing, then landing every 10-15cm, so obviously had fairly tight springs, tyres and shox. All you can do is change the frequency the axle bounces at, so that it happens rarely, instead of often. I think if you wind up the shockers firm enough to completely stop tramp, they'd just punch-out their chassis mounts!! You'd never get the weight - transfer on the road that you need to corner well either, not to mention the hell it'd cause in the wet!

I get axle tramp in my corona but only on roads that have shitty surfaces ie lack of grip cos they have been torn up.
