Why are ser and ir the same in preterite?
The preterite of ser comes directly from the Latin preterite of esse: fui, fuisti, fuit, etc. The problem with the case of ir is that it is actually diachronically composed of more than one verb: It takes its present tense/present subjunctive from Latin vadere: vado, vadis, vadit
What is the preterite tense?

What is the imperfect of IR?
