Hope someone can answer this question,
I have a IFS on my U320 and I wondering if the (2) Air Bags are the same as the rears?
They are made by Goodyear and having trouble finding a part# on them or any info on the net.
Sounds like a good time to talk with the Foretravel parts dept. Don't make it complicated for your self or use the wrong bag.
FWIW
See Barry Beam's web site for the part number @ Air Bags (http://beamalarm.com/Documents/air_bags.html)
I just bought a complete set of airbags (eight) for our coach @ $155.71 each including shipping from Michigan Truck Spring.

They only made a few IFS coaches in 2001. I don't know if it is the same front airbag as the others. I would call FOT as well to find out.
I call the factory for info and they told me that my U320 has a "Dana's IFS84 suspension unit-Axle Assy No. 26160" for Foretravel's units.
The air bags they spec out are Ridewell #1003588963C or Goodyear #1R12-465 and or Firestone #8963 just in case anyone needs to know.
However with only 6 units made in 2001 this info may not be needed anytime soon.
Thank you for sharing so that others can find it in the future. Even if there were only 6 built, you as one member have helped 5 other people. That's a pretty darned good "pay it forward" ^.^d
I for one appreciate the info as I also have IFS. No need for bags at the present time, but when it does, I now have some info needed.
Just did a quick web search and found this. Has the 26160 assembly for Foretravels in it. Hub parts manual and maybe more.
Careful if you're on metered or slow data, it's 18 megs in size: http://www2.dana.com/pdf/PCDCOH.pdf
The Firestone #8963 is available for $151.40 at: http://www.truckspring.com/products/Firestone-Reversible-Sleeve-Air-Spring__W01-358-8963.aspx
There was more than six made and I have one.
Thanks to a 2 year old thread, I know what air bags I need to order.
Love this site.
