1996 FORETRAVEL U270-36 NEEDS NEW SHOCKS-

August 26, 2019, 08:46:22 pm

Greetings:
My coach needs six new shocks to settle out the ride. 
280K on the clock.
I do not seem to be able to find them. 
KYB seem way over priced.
KONI IS $230 EACH. and are out of stock
BILSTEIN IS OUT OF STOCK but at a better price of course.
I want to leave for the west the first week of October and am getting worried that I will be extending my current stay.
Anyone got an idea where to find the shocks?
Regards...

Just ordered eight Koni FSD's from Shock Warehouse and much cheaper than you are looking at. Paid $1216.84, I asked for a discount and got it down by $40, not much but something. They have been on back order and were supposed to ship today.
Only time will tell!
