Hi all! I have a 2019 XJ Rsport that I picked up in the summer with 81k miles. Front suspension had a clunk and figured I’d replace in the spring but last week I hit a deep pothole that destroyed my front right tire and what feels like my suspension with it. I inspected and took it to a mechanic and we both agreed it was time.

Are any of you aware of a full front suspension rebuild kit for the X351? I know I can pull part numbers and buy individually but in my experience buying kits can be a bit cheaper. Forum search didn’t yield any results.

Thanks for your help!

 

David,

Here's one. It's located in China and I have no-idea of the quality.

Thank you. I'd seen a few of these kits floating around ebay but the quality was always suspect so didn't feel comfortable buying. Was trying to see if anyone has found/used anything a bit more reputable

 

Here's what I'm thinking for a full front suspension rebuild. Anything folks think I'm missing from this list? Would rather just do it right, get everything sorted and then alignment and new tires and she's ready to roll again for hopefully the next 80k miles. Would appreciate any and all help to find OE equivalents (like the Bilsteins) that could help save some $$$ as just parts is already quite expensive.

 

Nice list and lots of work! Thanks for posting that.
Such a huge difference in price.

Thanks! I’ll update this thread as I find more and update the sheet. Been very tough finding after market equivalents or supplier information. Hopefully it helps someone that may need similar list in the future for an X351 AWD V6.

 

I can almost guarantee that the OES of the JLR branded parts resells those same parts to other brands. Just need to find a cross reference table. Keep in mind that you're about to spend almost 50% of the car's value on suspension parts that will not increase the value of the car. Are you sure your subframe was not damaged?

 

Agreed. Trying to find this look up table. Lots of the parts are stamped fomoco so trying to find Ford equivalents. Will keep looking and any help is appreciated. Mechanic didn’t say anything about subframe but will ask again. While the pothole hit was hard I think the issue was more due to low profile tires not having enough sidewall to absorb the impact and blowing out. The rim wasn’t even bent, just a pinch failure on the sidewall. It did make some of the preexisiting suspension issues worse hence my desire to fix.

I paid $20k for the car and priced in about 5-7k in expected repairs for the mileage. Agree it doesnt increase value of the car but I want to keep it and enjoy it for atleast a decade similar to my last one. This has largely been a while youre in there exercise and depending on final costs may walk back what I ultimately end up replacing.

 

Update: Got all the parts together finally today! Front OE shocks for Miessler Automotive not pictured.

Total cost of parts w/tax, shipping, tariffs etc to Chicago from the various parties: $5000.57
FCP Euro : $3982.51
RockAuto : $54.65
Meissler Automotive : $768.00
Jaguar OEM Parts : $101.91
Tariff Payment for Meissler Import: $93.5

Tomorrow we find the cost of labor to finally put this matter to bed and get the XJ back to its original form.
