I need to buy lower bushings, the shocks are in great shape and same with the upper mount, have no idea why these are so bad, either way as much as play that is in them, I don't think Ill need a press to remove them.

I am looking at these, anyone have any experience?

Jaguar XJ6, X300 & X308 (1994-2002) Front Lower Shock Mount Bushing


Looking at it again, it says it does not fit the X308 model, anyone know if the X300 and X308 are the same?


Thanks!!

Chris

 

The front suspension went through some changes between the X300 and X308 generations. They changed the geometry on the X308 to eliminate some of the tramlining/bumpsteer issues the X300s had. Not sure on the lower mounts specifically, but I know the shocks do not interchange.

 

Thank you!

Unless someone else says they fit or knows where there are polys somewhere, it looks like Ill be buying stock replacements.

I changed mines, they look different than the ones on the first link.
Shock Absorber Bush - MND2153AA | Jaguar XJ8 X308 - XJR | Jaguar | British Parts UK

No major improvement after, only the anti roll bar bushes worth change.

 

Oh mine are BAD!! You can see air. I get a clunking over everything. My Vjoints, motor mounts, control arm bushing and sway bar links are all good.

I just ordered them from Terrys. Figure one state away, hopefully have them tomorrow.
