Front shocks HELP please

I need to replace the upper shock bushings on my '01 VDP and I'm looking for a link with a decent price on Front Shock Mount Bushing Kits. I found this on eBay but at $99.95 seems a bit too much. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...7115&viewitem=
Thanks

Don't know about the prices you posted, but if you need a good write-up on changing the shocks...

I remember having an issue with these mounts on my x300 - while under warranty. They replaced the shocks and the complete mount -- looks like Jaguar only sells the whole mount.

You need to be careful about using non OE bushing on these cars -- they are very sensitive - some of the upgrades (polly) have resulted in harsh rides.

That said -- Coventry West is long established and I would not hesitate buying from them.

Give them a call I am sure they will explain - this looks like something that they may have put together. nice to know.
