Default Front End "Clunk"?

Hi,

I have a 2005 XK8 and I've noticed that when the front wheels hit certain bumps with the front wheels turned (ie when turning into my driveway), I can feel and hear a clunk in the front end. My parents have a 2002 XK8 that does the same thing, but is more noticeable than mine. Any idea what this would be? Both cars have around 25K miles, so I wouldn't think any front end parts would be worn?...but I could be wrong. Thanks for any suggestions.


Rob T.

Look and see if this might be the problem first. https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/s...ad.php?t=30065
