Here is a start for you guys. More to come. Took a lot of pictures and time
editing them.
This is for the Moton install, but it can also be used to reference taking off
coils and caps for other applications. This was brought to you by home come visit the site! Support us! Thanks!
I will post the rest of the pictures on Tuesday night, but here's a start.
Disclaimer: I am not saying this is the only way of doing this. I am just
trying to contribute and help others out. Not looking for opinions of my style
or anything. Not looking to have people from the peanut gallery to heckle at
this...if you don't have anything good to say then keep it to yourself. The
last thread I did got out of hand and I think we all know who the P*ick
was. :thumbs: (Oh by the way on the corsa install, you were wrong about the
panel not having to be removed. Check out corsa's site.) :thumbs:
Those instructions are priceless.It was like a frigging medical procedure.
I don't know who you are Mr Adam but you kicked some ass on this project......Well done.
Mystic put it perfectly!
Thanks Adam!
Clownshoe,
Adam is AB over on the Morgue's website.
You know the phrase, "I know a racoon thats a welder"? Well thats him!
His work on replacing pipes and other Viper components are amazingly documented. I believe I have them all or have tried. They should be in the "How to" tutorials section over on the Morgue.
AWESOME documentation and some that I am sending around to other Viper owners that are contemplating this. I know that everybody I have spoken with say that the Moton setup, while being more expensive than most, is simply the best. Great ride, superior handling, etc. Not to mention a better look from lowering.
Thanks for taking the extensive time to shoot these pictures and provide such great documentation!
Excellent write up with great detailed pics. I only have to add that you do NOT need to remove the lower control arm. Well, let me qualify that by saying I did not need to with my 06 Coupe. There is a large rubber grommet in the wheel well just above the rear shock. When you remove the bolts from the stock coil over, it will then push up and dislodge the rubber grommet allowing the shock to go high enough to remove. I simply took a straight screw driver and popped it back in place after the installation of the new coil over set up. Just wanted to add that as I was concerned that I would have to remove the lower control arm just for the coil over install, but luckily noticed Dodge actually made provisions to not have to do this.
I just realized why you where not able to take the shock off without removing the control arm. You must remove the fender liner first, the hole I spoke of with the grommet in it for this purpose is above the liner. The liner is very easy to remove, especially in comparison to the control arm.
Just adding my unwanted 2 cents. I believe dodge put them there for a reason as it is quicker than five minutes to take out the fender liner and utilize this design. Plus, you don't have to worry about marking anything. I know it would be quick to take the control arm off, just wanted to let everyone know it is not necessary. I have a lift too, and I don't think it matters if you have one or not as far as ease goes. I am glad he put this up in such a good format, and do not mean anything disrespectful by my observation, just a much easier way.
No one said your 2 cents or observation was unwanted or disrespectful. I just posted Adams response and he did say in beginning of this post that this was not the only way to do this. He knew gromet was there but it was just easier for him to do it by way of control arm. Others may find it easer to remove the liner.
So your observation is a good one.

Actually, I did not know about the gromets. I saw them in the past before, but did not know what they were for until now. I will try to get the rest of the pictures up.
