Hello everyone. I've been driving Lexus and Infiniti for the last 15 years. Recently bought a 2008 XJ Vanden Plas with 55k miles. Beautiful car (Radiance) exterior, very plush inside. Factory chrome Sabre wheels. Having a few concerns regarding maintenance repair costs. In the first month of ownership, I have had both front air shocks replaced, left rear wheel bearing replaced, a 225.00 alignment. Took it to a shop yesterday for balancing/rotation on the Hunter Road Force and was told I need front lower control arms. Starting to have some doubts about my purchase. Hoping to get through some initial repairs and start enjoying the car. All the best.

Since I am new to Jaguar Forums, I guess I have to wait a while before I can send a PM. My research indicates that "Brutal" can provide front lower control arms for a 2008 XJ VDP at a the best price around. Once I can send a PM, I will try to contact him unless one of you seasoned veterans can reach out to him and let him know that I am trying to get in touch. Thanks.
