Where I can buy front strut mount bushings?
Hi I replaced my fuel pump lately and unfortunately I'm seeing the upper Mounts bushings cracked
I don't want to replace Mount itself I tried to find the bushings and found Welsh discontinued the bushings
Any idea where can buy these upper bushings?

The suspension is very much the same but the parts are different
Don't order from a X300 reference part list
The top of the front strut connection to the chassis ( shock tower ) is different
X300 has no shock tower and is a basic top of strut shaft with rubber isolators ( donuts ) on both sides of the sheet metal / chassis , the isolators defiantly flatten out and get loose on the X300
Ride leveling as this top build up is different and bulky ?

Rock Auto or NOMO in the US have affordable upper shock mounts with new bushings. Once upon a time Parts Geek sold separate bushings which required a press or BFH to build. Lots of threads, do some searching (Jaguar upper shockmounts).
What would be useful is to know what model you have a where you live . . .

I have tried both Meyle and URO. They both cracked and failed within a year or two.
They are easy to change and cheap to buy so not bad if you keep a spare pair.
I finally got a set of ENERGY Suspension 'SHOCK BUSHING SET' 9.8145G from Amazon or eBay.
I pressed the mounts apart to fit new poly bushes.(too thick as they are but good diameter)
I have a lathe so I mounted one on the spacer tube without the washer. I chucked it up and split the bush in half.
It was a little too thin so I placed a thick flat washer between the original mount washer and the poly bush on both sides.
Put it in the shop press and squeezed it back together. Replicated it for the other side and installed them.
Been on one of my X308 sedans for almost a year and no sign of deterioration.
No harsh noises so I am going to call it good.
