Default Are x-type wagon suspension components common with the sedan?

Hi All,

Do the suspension dampers and springs differ between the sedan and wagon? I can't find separate part numbers on multiple sites.

Thanks!

I believe the AWD suspension components are similar between sedan and estate models especially in the front. There are some subtle changes e.g. rear bump stops are different.
However, shocks could be either comfort or sport - different part numbers.
Year of production can bring about the odd changes in some minor parts, so it pays to check you VIN range to see what part numbers are suitable for your production variant. Rear wishbones, upper and lower control arms are the same but the nut for rear shock changed.
Front anti roll bar link changed during production, but most everything else carried through production i believe.

I have the 2.1 FWD variant, so there are a lot of differences in the suspension and drive train, springs, rear suspension, rear hubs etc.

Here's a photo from under my Wagon. Something is unique if the label means anything. This is original untouched 36K miles.


Estate label on rear shock

Hope this helps

Looking on a UK Jag spares site, it lists the Estates as having a different shock absorber number (C2S46575) compared to the standard and sport shocks used in sedan with 2.5 and 3.0 engines.
Also different again from the shocks used in 2.1 variant.
https://www.jagspares.co.uk/category...pension?page=1
Page 3 has the Estate shock listed but no picture.

Not having owned an Estate model myself, I can't tell you if the difference is the top eyelet, damping rate, or the physical length of the unit, but seems to be a separate part for the Estates.
