X358 Underbody Pics!
 
Took my Jag to a local shop and they allowed me to get underneath the vehicle. Not everyone can see underneath their x350/358. Took some snaps of the suspension and underbody areas, I have not seen the under body of this Jag yet so I was happy to take some pics.

Several shot ball joint covers etc that need replacing.

Very interesting. Also, very clean under there :icon_mrgreen:

I see you have Arnott Air Suspension at the back.
Is that their Coilover conversion at the front, or am I seeing something that is not there? If it is, I was under the impression that you could not mix and match without Air Suspension faults on your dash and codes?

Or have I got this completely wrong (won't be the first time)!

I did the full coilover conversion in the front and back. They come with a module that disables any fault codes.

My mistake, I thought I saw Arnott Air Suspension at the back!

How do you find the ride etc to be?

Not positive, i could be wrong, but it looks like coil overs to me.:icon_look:
I would spray old trans, or motor oil on the sub frames, & steel parts.
It slows down the rust, & helps to ease the bolts removal upon disassembly of parts.

Plus one on Wingrider....Our man in the 'Rust Belt' knows a thing or two about this subject!

When I I saw the perfection of the fuel tank straps I thought - "has this car gone anywhere ?" These are notorious for corroding, then snapping to let the fuel tanks drop down. How anybody at Jaguar could have signed these things off, one has to wonder. At the very least they should have been galvanised.

Seems i missed where he said coils were all around before my post.:o
