Default Swaybar question

Will this part (2014 XJR bar) fit a 2011 XJL?

STABILIZER BAR | Genuine Jaguar | C2D32305

I'd like to have more responsive turn in. I understand that this will cause some bias toward oversteer, but that's OK with me, right now my car is very understeer happy.

Take a look at page 2 in this thread: https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/x...covers-141467/

I have done this and it improved turn in and stability greatly.

Thanks - I actually found that part number on one of your posts. I agree that this topic needs its own thread!

I noticed that you added it to an XJ Supersport, not a base XJ. Is the fitment the same for an XJL?

I have new brakes, ceramic pads and caliper covers on the way. I'd love to upgrade my handling while I'm at it.

XJLFTW according to parts manual all the sway bars are interchangeable when it comes to fitment.

If the XJR front stabilizer bar is 1mm larger in diameter, then why are the bushings the same size as for the 30mm stabilizer bar found on the other XJ models?

See this part fits:

STABILIZER BAR BUSHING | Genuine Jaguar | C2P13649

What's a mm between friends? Seriously the way the busing is made there is adequate clearance to handle the larger diameter. I got new bushings when i did the change as wanted new with new so they wore in properly.

Quick update: I got the stabilizer bar installed last weekend and it's worth every penny. Turn in is much more precise, it just feels confident in a way it didn't before.

I ordered it from Jaguar Parts Unlimited and had it installed at an indy shop for $120, not including alignment.
