Got new rear sway bar studs and bushings, anyone have a rear end parts list for a 4wd 2002 x type? I cant find anything hardly at all, I want to replace everything,

You are doing a fairly thorough job :D

For the parts, you might want to consider installing JEPC.

lol thanks man

I just ordered the front and rear trailing arm bushings for the rear suspension, i finally found them and the parts list I was looking for, pics of the installation of all these bushings will go up later in the week. I will also be repainting the parts as they are taken off.

Hey Man

There is absolutely no way your garage is empty !. This is WOW factor Nine, stuff. Great to see someone giving my favourite Cat model -(although by some a somewhat underrated automobile) a real rebuild. Man Oh Man !---those wheels... Oh my God.... what an idea.

What is it like inside ? did you bling it yet. I cannot wait to see the completed job.

thanks man! The interior is all stock and in more than mint condition, its all basically brand new, I will take some pictures for you in a second, I need to clean in there, but you will get the idea.

REAR SUSPENSION: Left and right trailing arm bushings front and rear showed up, well will be installing the new swaybar bolts and bushings and these trailing arm bushings this saturday, lots of pics yet to come.

I wait with impatience to see the pics. I changed my discs and pads only 4 weeks ago - the wheels look real neat - but my friend, not a neat as your baby cat.

Heres me mocking the doors up to start building the pods for the speakers, this pods will not be finished until they look stock like they came with the car, will be wrapped in exact match leather, and I will use the factory speaker grills.

Here is the picture of the MMATS HD4000.1 amplifier I just put in my other car this week, but will be ordering one for this car for the bass end of the install shortly. 4,000 true watts RMS at 1 ohm
https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/a...ine=1382656188 https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/a...ine=1382656188 https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/a...ine=1382656188
This amp used a boosted voltage rail technology, producing over 4,000 watts RMS in an amplifier that is no larger than a sheet of notebook paper. These amps are TOP OF THE LINE. I just replaced a 4,000 watt RMS amp with this one and it was almost 3 times as large, LOL and the performance of this destroys what the other one did.

OK MORE UPDATES, due to a facebook hijacking, i am here as a new user so I will not be able to login under my old name without that facebook account or edit posts, see signature for more details.

New amp has arrived! The MMATS HIFI6150, which will power 150 watts RMS x 6 to the front doors! also, the original front door idea is moving to the rear doors, and my new speakers for the front doors should be here tomorrow!

This amp is state of the art sound quality technology, with internals only seen on $100,000+ home theater setups. 100% hand built in Florida with all 1% tolerance parts.
