Viking Shocks - The PP "Bounce" is Gone!

[Dramad1]

Hey Kelly@BMR,
I think I read somewhere that you said, BMR made a few upgraded or replacement top mounts for the rear shocks. Curious if this is so. Do you have any laying around if so, and how much? Do they come in red, lol

Well I "Finally" had a nice-ish say to go for a ride & I must say, the ride is as it was before the "updated rods". Also I went down some REAL crappy roads to give a low speed test, no rattling as of yet (hope ever). settings right now 3C 6R. only issue I had was its 10 outside & ive got my P-0's. that was interesting, but the shocks are what I was I bought them for

That's very good news!! The ride with the Warriors was unbelievable but I just couldn't live with the rattle. I recently bought an upgraded set of Crusaders from a friend here on the forums and I look forward to trying them.

I was told that they won't have the revision parts till the end of next month. Lame.

I must have got the first batch of rods and then they run out .. That sucks ..

I am not surprised. They sell these things like hotcakes.

Just myself, I have over 100 customers running these shocks now.

Don't feel bad though, I don't even have the latest revision shocks on my car. Not that I need them, but still. lol

So, what exactly was causing the issue? I can't tell if I have the new parts or if I just don't have the issue yet.

The theory is that the lower bushing mount was causing some squeaking.

As for the rattle sound, no one knows. It is something that a few people experience, but most do not.

Just got to throw my 2¢ in here and say it's not just a "few" people who experienced the rattling. It is no myth, it was a legitimate problem and not just something us "anal" people should have to tolerate.

I can respect that.

On my end, it is a few though. ;)

true, but the "new design" works without the rattle. ( I was one of those "anal" people)

I had the original version Warriors and had the rattling and returned them after exhausting all efforts to fix the issue.

I picked up a set of the new designed from a friend here on the forums and I am looking forward to trying them out. Got my fingers crossed lol
