Well,I finally got my new Viking double adjustable shocks on the Monte this weekend.
The hole in the bottom of the front lower control arm needed a tiny bit of enlargement with a hand file to clear the adjustment knobs.
The rear's were a simple R&R.
I set them a bit on the firm side,fronts were 10 clicks compression & 14 clicks rebound.
The rears I set at 6 clicks compression and 10 clicks rebound.
The rears will be easy to adjust,the fronts will be a bit harder to get at,the tires will likely need to be removed.
I went for a short drive today,they feel good so far.My right front sway bar end link bracket broke so its kinda hard to tell how they really work.But,the roads in Nova Scotia are so bad,they might need to be adjusted more firm.Heres some pictures;
