Are the rear Koni Shocks adjustable on a 95 RT/10?

[Lee Dove]

Trying to fix some wheel hop. If I can set the firmer it may help.

Yes. Rebound is adjustable, but you have to remove the springs to do it. Compress the shock all the way until you feel the adjuster engage (you'll know it when you feel it). Twist clockwise all the way (about 2-3/4 turns) to set max rebound in the rear.

Doesn't the ride height need to be reset afterwards, which means the use of an alignment rack?

 

[kverges]

No ride height changes should be needed. Stock shocks have fixed spring perches.

BTW, you will rapidly tire of shock adjustments this way, as the remove shock, remove spring, and adjust cycle is pretty time-consuming and you will need a spring compressor.

Are there reasonably priced after market adjustable shocks available on the market for the Viper?

Don't forget tire pressure. Tires are springs, so softer or stiffer with more or less air will change wheel hop characteristics also.

The rears are the like the 76, 80, ...8240 series.

Tim,
Go to www.Edelbrock.com
These are great shocks way less to no wheel hop and much better ride!

Try the Khumo v700 Victoracer tires, they eliminated my wheel hop and gave me much better traction out of the hole.

 

[Lee Dove]

Have Kumhos already. Wheel hop still there unless I really spin them. Doesn't matter what pressure....

Check the two bolts on the differential housing that attach the torque bar. Mine were loose.... once. They require mega-torque to tighten.
