Bushing Question 03 XJ8

![Default](/forum/images/icons/icon1.gif)
Ok, I have read alot of posts about upper shock mount bushings, and figured that was my issue, but recently (okay Sat = Tires and last night all new brakes and rotors) I put tires and brakes on. Any ways tire shop said I needed brakes so I told them I would do them. Order new Brembo rotors and got OEM pads (even said Jaguar on the box) all four corners for less than $400 woo hoo. Okay back to the bushings.
I didn't notice on the left front, but when changing the right front (better lighting of just where I had the light) I noticed the bottom shock mount bushing had a 1/2 gap between the bushing and the shock eye. What the heck is with this? Do I need new Shocks or can I just replace the bushing? I can get shocks for about $75 per side, but still I don't thin I have ever seen that kind of gap in the eye before.
Any thoughts? Other bushings I should look at while I am in there? Can you just buy the eye bushing and if so, where or at least a part number so I can find it.
Thanks in advance,

Just ring your nearest dealer, give them the vin and request lower shock bushes for the front, they're about ?4 each in the UK, the rears are a different matter!
