Been busy on my 450SL restoration for the last two years, but have been working hard on the XK8 this week repairing the left hand front chassis rail (rust behind the subframe). My suspension has also become clunky at the front and I am considering going back from poly bush to the original rubber ones, the poly bush ones seem to have dried out and are now making a noise which is disappointing as they are meant to be fit and forget. Its the lower control arm ones that seem to be the main issue, I'll take them apart, check for wear and then decide what to do, either re-grease and refit or replace with rubber.
First off fantastic link. Nice explanation. Which wing was it that you removed? Drivers side (UK) or passengers side? I cannot remember which side has the fuel bits, though I have worked on both sides. Age!

The pics are from the (UK) passenger side.
