considering replacing rear shocks, with 82,000 miles. Fronts already replaced from Rock Auto Any recommendations for a good brand w/reeasonable prices? Armand

 

unfortunately this is the xj forum, so things might be different for the x100. That said, I purchased bilsteins through rockauto and the OE donut top mounts from Jaguar for roughly $240 all in.

 

One of our excellent moderators will most likely move this one to the proper place.

Hi
Any replies as to existence of replacement shocks 2005 xk8 that are NOT Bilstein (something less costly?)
thx
thx

 

Again, this is the X308 forum. You want the X100 forum. Just replace with genuine Jaguar (NOT Euro, Üro or KYB) rear upper shock mounts (there’s 3 on each upper shock) and reuse the shock absorbers. The 3 websites that I looked at for your car only had Bilstein as the only option. If there is any play in the bottom shock mounts, you can replace those with any of the aftermarket parts.
