Default XK8 upper A arm with ball joint/bushes

I have a NEW-IN-PACKAGE XK8 RH front upper control arm with ball joint and bushings for sale.
Part #MJB1420AB. This part should fit 1997 to 2002 XK8/R and maybe later cars.
$100.00 includes shipping to the contiguous 48 U.S. I can send PIC/JPEG if you need it.

NEW-IN-PACKAGE XK8 RH front upper control arm Part #MJB1420AB. I don't think there are aftermarket control arms for XK8s. I only have OEM parts as I worked at the dealer and have several Jaguars. I have hundreds (maybe thousands) of parts, some used and some new. I have the RH upper and lower control arms still in the original packaging.

The upper control arm fits in USPS Priority Flat Rate Box so there is no added charge for shipping. $100.00 covers it all.

Well, now you only have to worry about the lower front & rear bushings, and the entire LH side... but if you can install them yourselves. you'll be ahead of what I spent on mine.

A side story - on my front, lower control arm bushing was damaged by the first install, when I brought it back to be replaced on their dime, they just put a new lower control arm instead...apparently, less trouble and perhaps did not have the equipment to get the bushing in/out safely from the arm.

That's why I recommend just getting the new parts with the bushings already in them.

I have replaced HUNDREDS of inner lower control arm bushes and there are special tools for the removal and pressing them back in. The old plastic bushes on the 1997/98 MYs were pretty easy to remove but the replacement metalastic style ones are tight to go back in. A proper flanged tool helps to keep the shoulder from bending upon installation. All Jaguar dealers are required to have the special tools (they were shipped to the dealer and their account was billed) but there was always the young punk who broke the tool and didn't tell anyone until someone else needed it. The new replacement arms have the bushes already installed but are pricey. I did alot of bushes for customers and other shops that just brought the arms for repair. I think they were charged an hour labor or so.
