Magna and Affinity Front Suspension

[Fredward]

I have a 2000 Magna that has the Kirkstall IFS84 18,000lb front suspension. I have replaced oil seals on the front axles recently. My buddy recently purchased a 2001 Affinity that has leaking front axle seals and upon initial inspection it appears to have the same IFS front suspension.

What are the chances the same seals I put in my coach will fit in the Affinity axles? Does the Affinity have the same IFS84? Obviously if I take it apart I will know but I’d like to order seals in advance and only have to take it apart once.

Magna and Affinity’s were built on the same line in Buildings #10, now Premiere RV, and share all chassis components. My understanding is the Affinity offered a higher degree of customization over Magna’s, mostly interior design and exterior paint. It appears my 2002 Affinity actually started out as a Magna, and at some point during planning or production, became an Affinity.

OK for those of you sitting on the edge of your seats wondering what the answer to my question was………..the front axle seal for a 2000 Magna fits a 2001 Affinity! Sorry I can’t figure out how to make this picture appear upright!
