Default 2001 Jaguar XK8 in need of quality strut mounts!!

I recently replaced my old worn strut mounts with Uro tuning mounts but ofc as everyone says it’s rly bad and just deteriorates over a year (It makes a clunking noise whenever I go over small bumps or rough roads). Every single site the pages I’m clicking on suggest places that are out of stock or don’t sell them anymore, could anyone give me some good places or have any advice.

The search function will get you all the info you need - there's plenty of coverage.

There's a lot of info out there. All of the user's posts that mention his kit just say to PM him.

I was looking for publicly available details.

Photos, Price, Name of the system,Turnaround time, etc.

As I said there are tons of threads about various strut mounts going back years and I did a specific search for the user's name which brought up numerous threads where people were asked to PM him, but since there's not a name to look up the specific system I didn't see (or know specifically what to look for) to see what the system looks like, the price, longetivity, etc.

If you can help with that it would be appreciated.

Wayne (cjd777) here in North Carolina and Steve (baxtor) in Australia both custom-make the best XK8/XKR front upper shock mounts on the planet. They have been doing so for three or four years now. Hundreds of us owners are now running their shock mounts with complete satisfaction. As previously mentioned, you can study the many threads posted on the subject to gain information about them. But if you are truly interested in purchasing a pair, you will have to PM them....

If only you had visited the "New Members Section" and read this post *New members - a MUST read if you have just signed up*

You would know you need to have 3 days membership and 10 posts to unlock the messaging feature for you.

Okay I see, thanks for the help. Is there any websites I could use to look at all the stock part numbers of every part?

Wayne and Steve are individual forum members who personally researched, designed, engineered, and created their custom-made shock mounts because the ones being sold by the various companies around the world are garbage. Neither Wayne nor Steve is a business. They do not have websites. They are simply trying to help the XK8/XKR community on this forum. For the last time, YOU MUST PM THEM FOR DETAILS....

I am not sure self promotion is allowed on forum Mike. Happy to supply any and all info if you message me.
My mount rebuild kit is now fitted to hundreds of our jaguars worldwide.

Thanks! I didn't think about the self-promotion part. My job is Information Governance so I spend a majority of my time trying to make people in my company make their information more accessible and findable, not hiding it in 160 sub folders, titling it something only they know what it means, or trying to restrict it by calling it classified or sensitive when it isn't - so I certainly have my biases.

Appreciate the photo and context!
