Hi guys. I just got done viewing the youtube video on Jaguar S type clunks and rattles and it was very informative. It was titled "how to check Jaguar s type for clunks, rattles, noises". Anyhow, after watching that I had a few questions:

-anyone get the part number or source for the strut lower bushings?
-part number for the s type r sway bar links? Are there any aftermarket ones?
-finally, are there any sourcesfor the sway bar bushings while I'm doing all the other stuff?

thanks!

 

check with www.motorcarsltd.com

 

Try the Jag dealer in Lansing Michigan, they have lower strut replacement bushings for about $40 instead of a $400 strut.

 

The dealer in Kalamazoo Michigan made a considerable effort to source the "non replaceable" suspension bushings.

Thanks! I'll check both of those out. My suspension is currently junk so I've got a bunch of work to do one of these weekends. Hopefully this weekend I'll be able to get under the car and use some of the diagnosis methods in the video.

 

Btw, how much is it to replace the stock struts with the bilstiens (non-cats) that people are doing here on the forum?

 

Did a search and found my answer- $110 per strut.

Are the stabilizer/sway bar links different on the type r versus the standard s?
