KONI NA | List

I was just checking out your link, Brett, since Inwas considering it might be worthwhile to upgrade with some new shocks.  When I run my coach year, 1995, it comes up with 0 search results.  If I run a search on the Koni link for model years 1996, 1997, 1998 and select U295 for each it comes up w/the same shock recommended each time:  8805 1010.  Any thoughts on why there's no result given for the 95 U295.  It doesn't seem likely there were substantial changes enough between a 96 and a 95 to warrant a different shock for the chassis.  Am I missing something?

Stony, your 1995 is like the 1995 I used to own which used 8805 1010.

Ya, no idea why Koni's website has a "black hole" in it.

You can always call them-- their North American office is in Kentucky.

I have been working on my Koni FSD Shock and Continental Airbag install this week. I am about 85% done. I pulled all four wheel panels, because I still don't how the job could be reasonably done otherwise. Every bolt was a fight, but that's the joy of owning a motorhome old enough to drink. Of the 16 shock bolts, 4 of them needed to be cut off with a cutting wheel. My Milwaukee 1400 ft lb impact is a nice tool to have. For days prior to work, Several advanced applications of PB Blaster on each nut and bolt for both the bags and shocks does help a little.
I can hardly wait to take it out for a test drive.

The Milwaukee gun is handy. When I bought my coach the rear, rear bags had been changed
and I did the front  rear wheel bags when the rear wheels were off. I did the right fronts with the
wheel on and took the wheel off to do the left front. With the wheels off it is real easy and the
advantage of the wheels off I also get to check the brakes.
