Default New roll bar links /engine trans mounts

Few weeks ago while driving my differential knackerd, it locked .

Got it repaired with a used one .

When i got it back it felt like the subframe was loose when repeatedly pressing and releasing the brake pedal.

Found that the two front hydro engine mounts and the rear transmission mount are gone .
Maybe the locked diff cost that stress on the mounts or the torque of the car ......

{Also the rear roll bar links were worn out ,after changing them ,it made the car much more stabil .}

Still got a sum clunking from the rear ..like my spare wheel is loose ...

Any ideas what that could be ? ..

Kind Regards

Shock bushes seem likely culprits, either upper/lower or both.

You finally got a LSD and you gave it up?

US model years are 1 year ahead of Europe and UK, i.e we don't have a 2003 XJ 308, they were only made up to 02'. 100's were made in 2001 first supplied in October of that year.

Hope that clears it up.
