hello everyone, i'm sure foretravel could answer my question, but i enjoy the feed back from foretravel owners. got a '04 u320, 42' with 115,000 miles. all road miles, so how long will the shocks last. the specifications states that it has 10 of em. can someone tell me a little about their experience with them? thanks

Although we don't have a Foretravel our coach was 9 years old. We upgraded to the Bilstein Comfort shocks and the ride has improved dramatically. I suspect you will get the same with Koni's.

I have a 98 4200 and last Nov. I put new KONI's on. Boy did that make a differance. The new ones have a lifetime warranty.

I put Koni FSD's on my '02 Brave and it didn't make any difference at all, except my pocket is lighter.

jerry and patsy, by golly i'm sorry your didn't have luck with the koni's.
i know nothing about shocks, but everybody talks about koni. apparently not as good as portrayed.

Well I think it was just that my OEM Bilstines were not worn out. I am still chasing a poor ride. Firestone Ride Rites seem to have helped the most and I'm still playing with the pressures on them.

1995 U320, I have 137000 miles and just adjusted the shocks. Are yours red? Take the bottom bolt out, push the shock up to the stop, turn back and forth a little until it engages the adjustment detent, continue to hold it up in that detent and try to turn CC.If it won't turn it's in the full open position, if it turns count the half turns to the stop. It should have 5 or 6 half turns available. Turn back CW the number of turns you took out and add one full turn. It made a big differance in the ride>
