Shock Absorber for xj6 '95
 

Could anyone please advise me the Brand/model of shock absorber that fit my xj'6 yr.95? I'm in Bangkok, Thailand.
Thanks,

my advice is remove the old ones, and if they are stamped " Jaguar Bilstein Germany" then have them rebuilt by a Bilstein shock absorber guy. This is what I did. There is presumably a Bilstein agent in Bangkok given the numbers of nice cars there.
The correct OEM shock is no longer available although there are replacement ones which differ. However the old one is fully reconditionable.

I tried KYBs for a month and they were terrible - far too hard.
My rebuilt Bilsteins get a bit 'bouncy' on undulations, but are otherwise pure luxury, and handle well when pressing on. I showed my bouncy front end (as it were) to Blue Dorward. He knows a bit about shocks, having fine-tuned the TWR racing XJSes for various tracks 30 years ago, and he said they need to be a bit stiffer on 'bump'. That will be done next time the car is in for any other job that crops up.

Thanks Al. I'll try it. By the way, a friend of mine recommended me to use Monroe OESpectrum. Do you have any idea? Thanks again.

I have no specific experience of those Monroes, but the general impression I have had form various experts (mechanics, suspension guys) is that Monroe are a bit lower down the food chain than Bilstein.
Having said that, I have Monroes on the back of my Aussie Ford Falcon wagon - at the time (2007) they were the only aftermarket replacement for that model - and they are fine.
But I would still suggest trying to have the originals rebuilt

^^^^correct, stay with bilsteins. Theres a reason theyre the largest oem supplier.

I don't have any experience of different X300 shocks, but I have compared lots of different ones on a certain BMW - including Monroe at one point. Suffice to say that there are Billies on it now...

I have Monroe's under my car. For my personal taste I find them to hard.
The car levels out pretty good tho when going over bumpy / hill type roads.

Thank you very much for all good advises. I believe I know what is the best solution now. Thanks again.
