RE: Front suspension rattles
Bo,
the car is at the dealer. I took it in. Let's see what happens. I mean if they tell me there is nothing wrong i am literally going to lose it. Maybe, i can take it to another Jag dealer, but will they have the hot blond italian as service rep? Prolly not....

RE: Front suspension rattles
I rotated my tires the other day and noticed that the front right hub was loose. When I did a closer inspection, I found that the hub nut was lose by almost 2.5 turns! I'm sure this is rare but I would recommend that if you all do your tire rotations, check the hub nut!

I got rid of the sounds in the front of my X-type by doing 2 things. Changing the sway bar rubber mounts - It was tight but I did this without dropping the subframe! this got rid of 90% of the sound (dull thump-thump rattle).
The other thing I did was change out the front struts. The right one was competely shot and you could hear it "hiss" going over parking lot speedbumps.
Car is much tighter and quieter - BTW, it was Bilstein sports I put in.
