S-Type Jaguar Control Arms & Ball Joints
Fanatics, i thought I'd share my find & saving of lots of $$$
The Ball Joints are not Sold Separately by Jaguar for the S-Type Jaguar.You are suppossed to Change the $500-$600 each arm.
I have a 2000 S-Type & found a Set of Ball Joints for my Control Arms on Ebay from a store called deutschepartsusa, there email us deutschepartsusa@gmail.com, they cost me only $119/pair incl. shipping to New York & Fitted like a glove.
Hope this helps,
Good luck,
James

RE: S-Type Jaguar Control Arms & Ball Joints
Yeah I saw that they don't even sell a ball joint replacement you must replace the whole arm (liability issue if the ball joint breaks off!) I just couldn't imagine the lower control arm being greatly different than the s-type especially 3 times the cost!

i need upper rears on my s type and have seen brands searching myself online from 250 to 500 i was gonna get on and see if anyone knew the brand name lemforder and if they were worth the extra cash? i drive the canyons up here and love to push this car i was going to switch to mina springs as well.

I remember having the lower rear arm, RHS replaced on my S-type; the cost of the part was £274 from the interweb, dealer price £465.
Now here's something astonishing -- I was talking to my tame mechanic at Scotch John's here in Leeds, and he happened to have in his hand a very similar looking part. It had a ball joint and two metalastik bushes. Idly I said "what's that for"? To which he replied, "that Peugeot over there". Almost without thinking I said "how much is that then"?
He said "£27". I said "WHAT"? He repeated the price -- "£27".
I was struck dumb, unusual for me. ONE TENTH the cheapest Jag. part? Something not right there.
Leedsman.
p.s. please don't anyone tell him I described him as tame -- he's a scotsman. I don't want to be separated from my breath.

You can get them (Ball Joints for the S-Type) for less from other sellers - I paid $70 or so a while back for 2 lower front ball joints.
Also, before anybody buys parts from this or other sellers, it's a good idea to type the name of the seller (DeutscheParts / HAMBURG TECHNIC GERMANY) into Google and see what other peoples' experiences have been...
I'd rather stick with Lemfoerder (OEM Jaguar, a German company that designs/manufactures in Germany) or other parts that are really Made in Germany... (or Made in USA/UK/Canada/Australia/Spain/France/Italy/Japan/Netherlands/... -> you get the idea...)

If buying on ebay, I'd buy them from Euromarque - they are in Houston and are a large rebuilder and manufacturer (e.g. inner tie rod ends - otherwise not available for ZF steering racks) of Jaguar parts.
Here's the link to their ebay store (not affiliated with them apart as a customer)
