Title: New Shocks for narrow body U300
Post by: prfleming on April 30, 2016, 09:43:12 am
I am looking at replacing my shocks, from what I can tell on the internet, the Koni 8805-1010 FSD is what I need for my 1991 U300 narrow body. Can anyone confirm these are correct? Coach is currently in the shop and would like to order asap. Thanks

Peter,

On Monday, give Koni a call:  (859) 586-4100. Ask for Justin McCoy if he is available.

Accept no others, the Konis we have are the best ever!

Mike Grimes at Foretravel called and has confirmed that the Koni 8805-1010 FSD shock will indeed work on my 1991 U300 chassis. Ordered with Motorcade discount  - $154.80 ea.

Very happy with the help and service I'm getting at Foretravel for my recent replacement fan and shock orders.

Peter,

Amazingly, that is the same shock on my 2000 model. If you have a tag axle, that shock is 8805-1011 (I think).

BTW, Mike is one of the good guys!

Trent:

Yes, I don't have a tag axle so the Koni 8805-1010 FSD fits front and back. I ordered 4 shocks for the front at this time. (Also having brake work done and just found out my rear rotors and pads all need to be replaced)...so will be doing the rear shocks next year.  ^.^d
