Title: Koni FSD 8805-1010 part number for Unicoaches
Post by: Don & Tys on November 07, 2013, 01:30:28 pm
I am preparing to change out all eight air bags and put new shock absorbers on our coach. I've already bought the eight airbags and they're waiting for me at FOT. The Koni Part number that I come up with is 8805-1010. A web search on that number turns up "Fits Foretravel U280, U300, and U320". I am assuming that the application guide for the shocks is merely incomplete. Has anybody who have replaced the shock absorbers with the Koni FSD shocks used a different part number? It turns out that FOT is the best place to get both the airbags and the shocks. When the motorcade discount is figured in, the price ends up being about $15-$20 cheaper per unit.

Don,

That is the number for your coach.  I believe your coach is a U320 chassis with Bilstein shocks and smaller motor and transmission.

Or, my coach is a U270 chassis with Koni orange shocks (now changed to Koni FSDs) and with a bigger engine and transmission.

Thanks Rudy! I prefer the former explanation... That our coach has a U320 chassis ;D

You will love the Koni's - I put the FSD's on the 1999 U-270 I had, think I got them from Summitt racing -
