Morning All, still shopping for an XK8 and saw this listed online. From the photo, the front suspension looks low, can anyone comment if this is normal/abnormal and what would be the cause?





Thanks, Chris

 

not normal - usually caused bu failing upper shock mounts or possibly bad shocks/springs. Easy way to tell if upper mounts - look at engine bay pics and you may see signs of the foam mount crumbling around the shock mount. An fairly easy diy repair

 

^^ What he said. All XK8s and XKRs that have not yet had their factory front upper shock mounts replaced are in dire need of having that job done now. Many of us have installed the aftermarket poly kit from Welsh Enterprises and are very happy with it....

 

That thing looks like a beauty. But it IS droopy in the front. Be sure to use that as a bargaining tool. I just finished my front end and new strut mounts were included, sits more level now. TM
