Default Broken Arms

The other day after aggressively passing a snailing car infront of me i noticed that the XJR wasnt as tight as it nomaly is. So when i got home I put the car on the lift done some checking. After searching I found that the upper control arm bushing were busted. I made some phone calls and searched the internet and I cant find the bushing anywhere. I just wanted to see if anyone could find them before i pay almost $600 a piece for new upper control arms or (maybe someone could cross reference the part numbers for the control arm or bushing to a FORD car) I heard it can be done on the Xtype or Stype control arm Any help would be greatly appreciated

I've replaced an upper control arm on my 05 x350, and they are interchangeable with S type upper arms.. At a MUCH lower price. I can't remember all of the details off hand, but give a call to Welsh enterprises.. or look the part up on their website under the XJ category.

There are any number of 3rd party Jag parts suppliers that sell exactly what you need. Try Welshjag.com for starters. Do not go for the insane OEM parts and prices except as a last resort.

Well crap, I pulled their page up just now and it's not listed. I'm sure they still have them, though. Sometime their website can be hit and miss.
Here is everything else they list for the front suspension on the x350.

Just give them a call and tell them what you need. It should be around $200. Ask for Boone.
