I have had problems with both rear lower control arms on both sides and went the cheap way and replaced with used arms 1.5 years later and the horrid squeak is back again. I know that there is a company in England that produces the bushings needed for these arms (racing green cars) but because I am in US, these are pricey. Does anyone know of a US source for these bushings?

Thank you Jaguar for making an easy repair almost impossible!! LOL

 

Check Jagbits.com

 

They don't show any for rear control arm. I sent them an email. Thanks, we will see.

 

I replaced both my upper control arms yesterday on my 2000 S-Type and did not see anything alarming with my lower control arms what is it that is causing your squeak?

 

It is the two specialty bushings. Made of Metal and tend to squeak usually over 60,000 miles and usually in cold climates in the winter. I have had to replace all upper control arms from thge ball joint wearing out and I put 2 used lower control arms on but they did not look much better than the originals, so I knew it was a matter of time. The time is now. It appears I found the only ones available. They are from England and are about 150 plus shipping from England for 2 (total of 4 required for both sides). I was hoping someone in the US had either made them or bought them wholesale. They are a common problem.

 

I got my control arms, shock bushings and control arms from Jagbits and they offered a discount as well. Give them a call and see what they have to offer.
