Default Jaguar X308/X100 XJ/XK - Sway bar link upgrade

I designed some sway bar links for my X308 that eliminate the flex found in the rubber bushing that the original part has. My version has ball joints at both ends, with the lower one having a threaded section long enough to replace the factory bolt going through the control arm.

Eliminating the rubber bushing means that there is no delay before the sway bar begins to counteract the body roll.

If anyone is interested, I'll be making a batch of these for other people. Cost will be ~85eur + postage for a set.

This is great upgrade as long as you are willing to make these long enough that when these eventualy breaks, there will be replacement still available.
