lots of threads related to suspension and alignment manbird. Brutal is our resident expert on these alignment issues, but I'll wager a guess that both the upper shock mounts are fatigued and coils have compressed a bit. There is an eccentric bolt (at least for the XK8/R) that gains a couple tenths on the camber. The upper mounts are replaceable, and will be a huge improvement. Coils, well...you can always change them, but thats VERY pricey.

Many of us just do the upper mounts, add the e-bolt, and get our camber as close to spec as possible. I can also say that having a little negative camber (just out of spec) is less worrysome than getting an alignment with too much toe out. That'll kill it faster than anything.

it fits all xk suspensions, if your car didn't come with it already. The XJ suspension is similar, in many regards to the older XK8s. Please check with the dealer when you go looking for the part, or wait until a real jag tech sees your thread and can confirm.
