2003 s type rear sway bar bushing replacement
 

Can this be done without removing most of the rear suspension. The dealer says it is 6.6 hours to replace both. There has to be an easier way.

3.0 base

I changed on my 2001 those bushings without removing anything else from the suspension. It is a bit fiddly but doable.

i had my rear bushing replaced on my 03 v6. the dealer told me the same thing 7hr have to drop the subframe. you dont have to do that i had a jag tech do it for me in like 1hr-2hr at my house with out a lift. you just need small hands and take ur time and feel for the bushing and bolts if u want to do it the blind way and save time and money and dont drop the subframe.
i got the bushing for like $20 and $100 in labor.

Did this take care of squeaking/groaning?

yes and no for the squeaking/groaning i had to change out my sway bar bushings and the sway bar links on my car. After that no nosie form the car. Im still looking to replace my upper control arms and lower control arms on the front and back. Right now dont have the $$$$ for it.

Curious as to years
 

Ok, I am a bit confused, I think the question asked was for a Jaguar 2003 S-Type. Are ALL other years the same?

How does answering someone who has one year and you did the work on another year help? Am I missing something?

Was already answered in post #3 so who cares? Extra info may be useful to someone.

Are there any "How To's" detailed on how to replace the rear bushings? I need to do this, as they are cracked and falling apart.... Any help would be appreciated!

Does anyone have the part #'s for the rear sway bar bushings for a 2000 S type? Every time I try to search for it I come up with the link kit without the bushings. Thanks

I have 2 of them in my desk drawer. 20.00 including shipping. part number xc2c0469
