Hey all!

im new here. Newly hooked on these cars. Have an xj6 lined up for the summer (friends car he’s selling me) if this virus doesn’t bankrupt us. So I have a 1986 XJS front suspension in my old Chevy (please don’t kick me out cause it’s not a jag) and am doing some tuning and need to know if the lower control arms in a series 3 XJ are parallel to the ground and a if not, what angle? I am thinking the suspension is way, way sprung due to my Chevy being lighter. The control arms are playing down 13° Assuming 0° is parallel

thanks

 

Never really thought about it but I think they are intended to be parallel to the ground, yes. But my car is 65 miles away so I can't go peek.

Post your question in the Series I-II-III section and you'll get a good response. This section is for much newer cars. Or perhaps an admin will see this and move the thread

Cheers

Many thanks! Moving it now. I so desperately want one! I’ll be asking a lot over there. I’m 30-50’s GM or 90’s Lexus so this is new territory
