Need a How To on front Anti Sway Bushes Change
I've had my 2004 Xtype 3.0 now for just over a month and have had fun doing a few odds and ends to it. This past week I installed a SS mesh grill I bought from another forum member, replaced the driver's side sunvisor since mine was missing the door for the lighted mirror, and replaced a side marker with one I bought new from the UK. Today I tackled some mechanical stuff - I installed new front rotor and pads and also the front sway bar links. It went well and I had a blast working on the Jaguar. I finally got to use my metric gear wrenches and also metric hex wrenches! I will do the rear brakes tomorrow hopefully since I ran out of time today on those. I had a clunk going over bumps and thought it was my sway end links and while my links did need to be changed the real culprit is the bushes on front. I can make the clunk by moving the bar by hand. Lots of play. I searched the forum and also my Haynes repair manual and am confused. I see conflicting advice on lowering entire sub frame, to only doing a slight drop on each side, to no drop at all and just loosen the steering rack dust boot for access. I really wish there was a video or some pictures with steps but I can't find any. I have to concept on what it means to lower the sub frame. Any advice or steps to replace bushes/bushings would be appreciated.
