New LS owner here -- '02 V6 Sport automatic w/ 76k miles. Paid $1000 for it. I knew the car needed work. I have owned a LOT of cars, but I have never seen anything like the suspension on this....after digging into it, it looks like ALL of the rubber parts are bad. Bought all of the replacement parts from Rock Auto (mostly MAS) and some OE Ford parts for the rear. Do the replacement parts hold up better than the original manufacture? I hope so.
So far I am into the suspension about a grand, not including the F&R LCA's (was going to wait on those). Now I have noticed that one of the rear subframe mounts appear to be bad as well. Evidently there are S-Type replacements available, so it least it can be fixed:
Genuine Jaguar Suspension Cross-Member Mount Bushing XR818140 | eBay
Does anyone happen to know if all four of the bushings are the same?
