Default New Car ride-------wow!

After new Upper Shock Mounts installed, car still drove like a loose goose (at least in the front end) I was very disappointed after the labor put into it.

Had purchased the Sway Bar bushings a couple months back, so decided to give that a try last Tuesday. If you have the bushings fine, if not, get them. The job was not quite as easy as depicted in Rev Sam video, but with his instructions I at least had the courage. As the typed in note in the video says, the sway bar is a lot easier to move around when both side have been disconnected. No need for a bottle jack.

Anyway, the car now drives like a new one. No wishie washie feeling and no now and then [clunk]. Just a good solid ride like you would think a Jaguar should feel.

Happy camper
