I been taking in all of the information from the threads since I bought my XKR in May. Matt, Gus, Jagtechohio, Brutal, and all of the other contributors, we should be thanking them for such a informative forum instead of bashing them. Thank You Gentleman, many of us know your not getting the recognition you deserve.

 

I also agree,this forum is for helping each other,not attackes from someone that has issues with his temper.

 

I want to say thank you but I truly do not fall into the category I do not have the skill sets or the qualifications as the others mentioned and I would like to add TestPoint and many others to this list.

This forum is not about the kudos it is about helping others. I have used many other forums and this is my main (home) forum because it is free from un-necessary criticism and condescending remarks. We all have something to add at times it may not help but the intent was there.

The one most important thing I want to add is that the techs and talented people add value for free to this forum to help in our efforts to fix our own cars. Treat them with respect! And to the many people that provided me help I say Thank You.

 

Amen !

 

I totally disagree. I think we ought to pick out a couple of folks, trash talk both of them against the other, then sit back and eat popcorn while watching them fight. What ever happened to the good old days??? What boxing stops now after 11 rounds!?!

 

Hope y'all took that as a joke, but we are just starting to feel too good.

 

OK ken you instigator! I’ll bet Mike is alongside you prompting you along………

 

Its been awhile since we needed any popcorn. Life is better.

I know that many of the currently active members may not understand that comment. If you go back a couple of years there were continuing flamings on several forums that seems to have passed.

Thank goodness.

 

It has been rather quiet lately, perhaps the calm before the storm?

 

It's kind of like the snake thing....................you don't want to look...................but you don't look away! I abhor psychotic attacks on good people........................but I always keep reading......! Anyway, Happy Holidays to all, may your Jag's long keep purring!

This is an old thread, but mabe they are easier to locate now.

This is not an endorsement .. have no history with this vendor. But they do have an excellent graphic of all the bushings for front and rear along with pricing. Well done numbered nomenclature for us see-point-click guys. Going in for balance and alignment next Tuesday, and the shop up here is really strack about suspension health .. gotta be **** up, or no go on their machine. Well shall see .. '03 XK8 75K

 

good link attaboy! I need to find my clunk in the rear, perhaps this is fate?

Ordered the end link rubber, and sway bar bushings from these guys, as mine look like old butterscotch life savers (end link bushes), figured the sway bars were gone also, and they have the old split on the bottom too.

I'll do another thread with these project details in the future.
