Title: 2001 U320 IFS shock part number
Post by: sk320 on November 21, 2014, 02:17:58 am
I have one of the 2001's with the IFS, I just noticed one front shock is leaking.
Does anyone know the part number for the front shock.

Steve, I replaced my shocks (including the front shocks) 3 years ago with new Konis and the p/n is 902497SP1 for the front. At the time they did not have FSD style for the front shocks. The rear are FSD's p/n 88051010. 
I paid $240.00 each for the front shocks. The rears are slightly less.
The shocks did improve the ride and handling.

Thanks Jon

I'll see if they have an FSD for the front now, there is no staining on any of the back shocks but after 57,000 miles and 13 years I think I will replace them anyway.

Have you had any issues with the IFS on your coach?

This is my first Motorhome and I bought it without knowing the IFS wasn't on all Foretravels.
To tell the truth I didn't get much pass the engine and tranny and I was sold.  I will be pulling a 10,000 trailer around the mountains of British Columbia and it was the length, power and the 4000 Allison that I was mainly concerned with.

No problems with the IFS. Love the tighter turning radius. Needed it on numerous occasions in tight quarters.
Had the front checked while at FOT a year ago and the only thing that will need attention in the future is the rubber boots wearing out.

Jeg's has the front shocks for 158.90 each,  and the price matched Summit on the backs @ 195.00 each.

I was expecting to pay more for the much bigger fronts but I was wrong.
