Good afternoon Gentlemen... Suspension question. I have a 2009 XK Convertible, I have noticed the suspension drifting abit above 60 MPH. I suspect the ball joint to be the culprit. The car has roughtly 65k miles on it. Any ideas or suggestions appreciated.

Regards,
Manny

 

our exceptionally well handling, dual wishbone, independent suspension cars do come at a price…. they eat the suspension components… bushings. All of them. And dont worry, we have more bushings then much of the competition.
Don’t overlook the sway bar bushings either.

Some here have opted for the poly bushes. Too rigid for me… loses the essence of the jaguar ride. There are other opinions.

 

I will def look at that. In your opinion, replace with Urethane bushings or stick with stock?

 

Thought I was clear. The poly bushes don’t suit me at all.

 

Manny,

As stated above, bushes do wear. The rubber deteriorates with age as well as mileage.

Most suspension parts are manufactured by LEMFÖRDER and obtainable from a LEMFÖRDER distributor or aftermarket parts specialist at far less cost than the identical part in a Jaguar box from the dealer.
