Finally found a mechanic after weeks of trying to get a shop to do maintenance. New mechanic hasn’t worked on Sarah’s before and is struggling to find up to date parts info. Does anyone know where we can find the parts numbers for these and other items? Thank you!

MermaidMartini,
1.) Napa stocks the BRAKE PADS ... (Take the old ones with you to the NAPA store).
2.) SHOCKS are available online ... (Someone will have to post the correct source and part numbers).
3.) I don't believe there are STRUTS for/on a '98 Serengeti.

In the headline you state that your coach is a '98 Serengeti, then in the post you mention a Sahara, what is the make and model of your coach?

Do you have air ride, leaf spring, or VevetRide rubber torsion spring suspension?

If you have 10 hole wheels, your brake parts are very likely these numbers:

Caliper (NAPA part #) : SE8556 (2.88 inch bore).

Brake pads are NAPA part # UP-7149-M (D236)



Unless your coach is an 8 airbag coach, the Koni shock numbers are:

Front: 88-1641SP3

Rear: 88-1458SP1

Here is a link to the front shocks. Many places seem out of stock, so they might be phasing this shock out in favor for the expensive EVO99 model. This company has them in stock..

Here is a link for the lowest price rear shocks:

Note: With the exception of the 8 airbag air ride coaches, everyone must order their shocks by part numbers posted on this group, NOT by make, model, chassis of your coach, otherwise you WILL end up with the wrong INEFFECTIVE shocks.
Also, these shocks are adjustable. They come from the factory set at least dampening. It is highly recommended to adjust the shocks to maximum dampening for best results.

If your coach is an 8 airbag coach, let me know and I will get you the proper numbers for the shocks, otherwise use the numbers above...

Hi John. It’s a Safari Serengeti. Will see if I can find out the other info. Thanks

John. It’s a Velvet ride. With an unbelievable bounce.

Order the Koni shocks using the specific numbers I provided in my earlier post above and set the shocks to maximum dampening before you install the. You will notice a marked improvement in your ride and handling.
Also, when you do got the shocks in, make sure you install the front ones up front and the rear ones in the rear, as they will fit both places, but they have different length and dampening specs between the front and rear.
