Default Best source for suspension bushings?

All the front rubber bushings on the '97 XJ6L are shot.
Is there a kit available from one of the major vendors that is comprehensive and of good quality?

Can't speak for them but they have a reference map and density comparison chart

silicon spray while assembling for no squeak ?

Jaguar XJ6, XJ6R - X300 - X306 (1994-1997) Replacement Suspension Bushings (powerflexusa.com)

and

If you look at item # 13 you may see daylight through it while still on car

You can pour your own bushings as the material is availble on E - bay and Amazon

Thanks again Parker.
I'm used to vendors like Moss who have listings in their catalogs for the older, more "classic" Jags.
It seems harder to find decent bits for the newer cars like the X300.

Don't count on Powerflex to get anything right. They are sloppy. I and others have had bad experience with them. Their fit is often not right. Check this instead:

https://www.polybush.co.uk/polyureth...aguar/xj-x300/

They are my next go-to when I need some bushings (which I do). Their bushings are confirmed to fit by Brendan @b1mcp and they have complete kits. They are more focused on Euro cars.

Thanks Richard. Looks like that vendor has the kit I was looking for.
I will contact them.

if your in the US the best bet is probably https://www.sngbarratt.com/English/#...?saveBranch=US
not sure if they offer kits, but they probably have all the OEM bushing available.

I did check SNG Barratt but saw no kits listed. I will try calling their USA branch.
Thanks!

I installed Polybush bushings on my 97 LWB. Great improvement.
1. Get the part numbers from Polybush site HERE
2. Search SNG US Site for the part number. Example HERE
