In case anybody curious, or tackling the job in the forums, here is how to change the front shocks and/or shock mounts on the Jaguar XK8. By the way this shocks in my experience seldom go bad, the shock mounts are a piece of crap though!

Excellent daxter1987
I think we will all have to do that eventually.

 

Thank you, I'm gonna be changing front shocks and mounts when I get home next month!

Also changing rear shocks, do you have instructions for that please? Have only found step by step for XJ6/8 and although they look the same I can imagine there will be some differences!

Thanks again

 

Hopefully I'll get one of those tickets soon. On the top of my head when u put the strut back u want to make sure you dont catch the abs wire with the strut.
