I have a 2000 Jag XK8, and it could stand some new upper and lower control arm bushings and ball joints. A set of Bilstein shocks/struts wouldn't be a bad idea either. Any thoughts as to a good source for used (but still in good condition) Jag suspension parts? Steve

 

This is one job where you do not want to scrimp on used suspension parts because you may be creating more problems than you are fixing. If you are going to go to the trouble of replacing these components, go with new ones. FCP Euro usually has good prices on the Bilstein shocks. And shop around online for the various bushings and ball joints. I would start with SNG Barratt Group and Welsh Enterprises....

Put the upper shock mount first on your list, especially if original! They collapse with age and let the suspension sag, causing negative camber and worn front tires.
