INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

FOR 1996-2001 VIPER SHOCKS

Catalog #33505

§Please read these instructions entirely before beginning. Proper installation is a must to realize the

maximum performance improvements.

IMPORTANT NOTES:

§Upon initial inspection, some new shocks may have a small amount of oil in the area of the seal. This is a

normal occurrence following manufacture and does not indicate a problem with your shocks.

§Any time you are working under a vehicle, be sure to use the proper jack stands and tire chocks to prevent

any shifting or slipping of the car. Never use a jack only to support the vehicle while changing shocks.

§Inspect shock brackets or mounting points before installation to make sure they are not broken or bent.

§Do not attempt to disassemble these shocks. Return damaged shocks to Edelbrock for any necessary

service or repairs. INSTALLATION

Step 1 Support Viper by frame with jack stands or

on a lift.

Step 2 Remove all four wheels.

Step 3 Removal of front shocks:

Fig. 2

An aluminum block should be placed between arm and

hammer to minimize marking control arm, do not hammer

directly on the arm. It should only require a couple of

sharp taps with a hammer in order to pop from seat. Do

both left and right sides, and remove nuts.

3(a) Loosen upper and lower shock nuts, but do not

remove the bolts at this time. (see Fig. 1).

3(b) If the lower shock nut is to rear, the lower sway

bar end link must be removed in order for the

bolt to have enough clearance for removal.

(see Fig. 1).

Fig. 1

3(c) Removal of lower sway bar endlink

If the tool for unseating the sway bar from the

lower control arm is not available, the following

procedure can be used. (The sway bar end

link is held in place with a tapered seat). In

order to remove:

3(c)1 Loosen lower sway bar end link nut, do

not remove completely

3(c)2 Place jack under the nut

3(c)3 Jack up and apply pressure

3(c)4 Tap control arm with hammer

(see Fig. 2).

3(d) Remove upper and lower bolts to remove

shock. It may need a little gentle persuasion

with a pry bar (see Fig. 3). Bolt should come

out by hand.

Fig. 3

3(e) Shock may be removed through the top.

Step 4 Removal of rear shock Step 6 Disassembly of rear coil springs from shock

4(a) Loosen upper and lower nuts.

4(b) In order to remove bolts, they may need a little

gentle persuasion with a pry bar. Bolt should

come out by hand (see Fig. 3).

4(c) Shock will now come out through the top.

Step 5 Disassembly of front coil springs from

shocks

6(a) Compress coil spring (see Fig. 6).

6(b) Move bump rubber down in order to remove

spring seat retainer (see Fig. 6).

6(c) Release coil spring compressor carefully.

Fig. 6

A coil spring compressor is required to remove the

springs from shocks. All proper safety precautions must

be followed. Consult spring compressor manufacturer

recommended instructions before starting.

5(a) Compress coil spring (see Fig. 4).

Fig. 4

5(b) Move bump rubber up shaft in order to remove

spring seat retainer (see Fig. 5).

Fig. 5

5(c) Release coil spring compressor carefully.

Step 7 Assembly of IAS shocks (Note: Apply anti-

seize compound to threaded collars)

7(a) Adjust all four threaded spring collars

(see Fig. 7).

2 front topped out

2 rear = 5/8” from top of threaded

collar.

Fig. 7

Step 8 Assembly of Front shocks

8(a) Insert coil spring with flat ground end against

threaded collar seat .

7(b) Install and tighten allen set screw with 1/8 allen

wrench (see Fig. 8).

Fig. 8

8(b) Put shock and coil spring in spring

compressor (see Fig. 11).

Fig. 11

7(c ) Slide threaded collar onto shock. It should

seat against snap ring. Front shocks are

easily identified by short threads on the piston

rod (see Fig. 9).

Fig. 9

The rears have long threads on Piston rod

(see Fig. 10).

Fig. 10

8(c) Compress coil spring until lower seat has

enough clearance to install lower seat and

9/16 jamb nut (see Fig. 12).

Fig. 12

Step 9 Rear IAS shocks

IAS shock reuses the O.E.M. large black clevis mount

and must be unscrewed from the shock body.

9(a) Mount clevis in vice with soft jaws, aluminum

preferred as not to mark up the clevis.

Screw jamb nut by hand until it hard stops at end of

threads (see Fig. 13).

Fig. 13

8(d) Apply Loctite to threads, screw rod end on by

hand until it hard stops, tighten jamb nut against

rod end with 1” wrench on rod end using a 7/8”

crowfoot wrench torque nut to 70 ft lbs.

(see Fig. 14).

Fig. 14

8(e) After removing from spring compressor, make

sure spring fits correctly in lower spring pocket.

(see Fig. 15)

Fig. 15

9(b) Using supplied crowfoot wrench (see Fig. 16)

Fig. 16

(Top photo –spanner wrench )

(Bottom photo –crowfoot wrench)

loosen shock body from clevis with ½” drive breaker

bar and crowfoot wrench (see Fig. 17).

Fig. 17

(From the factory, the shock body was torqued to the

clevis with Loctite, so it will require a bit of effort to

remove).

9(c ) Once the clevis and shock body are apart, the

threads need to be cleaned to remove any

grease, Loctite or dirt (use brake cleaner or

parts wash), etc.

9(d) Install the threaded collar on to shock seating it

against snap ring on the IAS shock

(see Fig. 18).

9(e) Install short clevis adapter jamb nut with holes

up towards shock body (see Fig. 18).

9(f) Screw clevis adapter nut on piston rod by hand

until threads stop, install 9/16 jamb nut with

Loctite (see Fig. 18).

9(g) Clamp supplied spanner wrench (see Fig. 16) in

vise (see Fig. 18) to support threaded adapter

torque nut to 75 ft lbs. with 7/8 socket.

Fig. 18

9(i) Assemble shock by screwing the adapter with

Loctite applied into clevis (see Fig. 20),

Fig. 20

screw the adapter in clevis until it bottoms (see

Fig. 21), torque to 70 ft lbs. using same spanner

wrench (see Fig. 16).

Fig. 21

9(j) Screw the thin threaded adapter jamb nut with

Loctite applied until it bottoms and torque to 70-ft

lbs. with spanner wrench.

9(h) Clamp clevis in vise. Install spring on clevis

spring seat (see Fig. 19).

Fig. 19

Step 10 Installing IAS shocks

Reinstallation is reverse of removal.

10(a) Both front and rear may require a little gentle

persuasion with a long pry bar to push control

arms down in order to install bolts (see Fig. 22

and Fig. 22a). Do not torque nuts at this time.

Front lower bolts may be installed with nuts to

the front. This will make it easier for

reassembly.

Fig. 22

Fig. 22a

10(b) Front sway bar end links may now be

reinstalled. Install both left and right at the

same time. After both sides are in position, the

end link to control arm nuts can be torqued to

16 ft lbs.

10(c) Important: After all four shocks are installed,

place jack or jack stand under control arm –

support vehicle to load suspension at ride

height and torque bolts to:

Front (upper and lower) 80-100 ft. lbs.

Rear (upper) 80-100 ft. lbs.

Rear (lower) 130 ft. lbs.

This must be done to pre-load bushing for their

proper position in order for safe and proper

handling. This is a very important step.

10(d) Install and torque wheels to 90 ft. lbs. After

5-10 miles, re-torque wheels to 90 ft. lbs.
