Hello everyone, I have tried to find an answer on the forum, but I can't seem to. I just got my 2001 XJR, and the previous owner has records showing the shocks were replaced a couple of years ago. My question is from the factory did the non-CATS cars come with sports shocks (24-023726 ) in the front and standard comfort shock in the rear(24-023757)? or did the previous owner mix sport and comfort shocks? Maybe it's me but on larger compressions on the freeway I feel like the rear is not as planted as the front but I don't have a frame of reference.

 

PO mixed the parts. Rears should be sport green bilsteins just like the fronts. Well, different PN, but same color.
MNC3540CA or equivalent Bilstein PN for the rears.

 

Hmmm, that's unfortunate; the new shocks only have 5k miles on them. I might just leave them in, as I've seen the job is a bit of a pain in the butt. I can hardly tell the difference between the firmness of the sports shocks in the front and the comfort in the rear, apart from large high-speed compressions on the freeway. Thanks for the information though
