I just reproduced the knocking sound (while parked, but warm) and had my wife listen closely for where it was coming from. She swears its from the top of the driver side shock...
UPDATE - I purchased and installed the "shock knock bolt kit" from Viper Specialties and while the bolts do seem much better then stock, it did nothing for my knocking problem. I've tightened every bolt on or around the rear suspension, but am going to check the sway bar bushings again just to...
I did some more reading on this forum and came across a thread called "shock knock" which essentially says the bolts used to hold the shocks and suspension on in the 03+ SRT-10s are not exactly the right size. It had a link to a shop called Viper Specialties that sells replacement bolts...

I totally agree - buy the car that causes you to give yourself a thumbs up every time you open the garage. This is my first post here. I just bought my first viper this week - in fact it has not even arrived from the east coast yet. It's a blue 2006 coupe with the white stripes and blue...
