w13tey - come on, now how horrible can your suspension really be? Regardless, welcome to the forum, and do make your way over to the XK8/XKR section and pose your questions and share your story.

At the moment the fulcrum bolt on the upper wishbone has sheared and is seized solid in the sub frame 😞 soaking in WD40 and other penetrating oil then major heat application to be applied, to see if that'll help 😏

I've had three seized on different Jaguars. Worst one took four days, two giant aerosols of WD40 and two gas blowlamp canisters!

I feel your pain!

Welcome. I hope your bolt comes loose. I suggest a product called PBlaster. I use it to free frozen bolts on docks at a marina. Good Luck!
