Default Wheel hop . does anyone get this with agressive take off?

I had my two motor mounts replaced recently which were causing jerking and wheel hop I thought. Motors mounts were indeed bad , had shop replace them it fixed the jerking but wheel hop is still there at agressive take off. When steeping on it I get spin and wheel hop instead of just spin. I just put in new Ties and they do not make a difference. 86k miles on the car
any ideas?
Shop installed motor mounts wrong if that possible?

Age, mileage of car, brand/age/tread of tyres might be useful?

Have found on certain services such as block paving the take off, albeit not aggressively, tends to jerk, but it's now below 10c average here in blightly and wet, and I don't think that would be the case in balmy SD as imagine around 18 average?

Never had any wheel hop with PSS, PS4S or PSC2. Had lots of tires but never, ever wheel hop. I would look for worn rear suspension bushings or diff bushings.

I concur with the above... Never had any wheel hop under any circumstances. Maybe your trans mount is also broken? OR, maybe your previous problems caused some rear suspension bushes to wear and therefore cause the problem.

Check condition of rear dampers and subframe mounts.

At suspension shop now.
looks like lower control arm bushings need to be replaced and the main issue which is probably casing this is the drive shaft insulator or drive shaft coupler , the rubber piece looks as it has cracks in it either from age or all that extra torque I'm puting down. Dealer does not sell this part separately and wants to sell the whole drive shaft $2200 This is how they make money on parts. Problem is where to do I find one....

What is the MY and kilometres/miles on the vehicle?

The propeller shaft components are not supplied by JLR as service parts. They are part of the shaft assembly.

While mechanical issues should be sorted out, the quickest way to take off is to avoid spinning tires. This means you gradually increase throttle application, just short of spinning tires. This also means that stomping on accelerator and have traction control sort it out is not the best way to do it.
