Looks like my XK8, at 80,000 miles may need new front shocks. Is this something an experienced British car technician(me) should be able to do (age 84): i've restored 3 MG's, a TR spitfire, & now restoring a '60 Bug Eye. What is the preferred or recommended brand & source?

Armand,

I've sent the Workshop Manual extract for this procedure to the email address you have registered with the forum. The filesize is too large to add to a forum post.

Members in XK8/XKR forum will be able to advise on brand(s) and source(s)

Here's a graphic showing the assembly fixings.

Wow! Thanks again! Merry Christmas.
