OUCH! Hey guys, those brackets are $460.00 plus S+H. Where do the brackets go? Is it a band that surrounds the Cat converters and mounts or???? If anyone has a pic they can post or a diagram I may be able to fabricate something myself. If anyone has them for short money and wants to sell a LH and RH bracket for a fair price please contact me.
Thanks

WOW this forum is great! I have had my 2007 XK for a month and have had it in to two different shops. No one could figure out why the car had a drone type vibration at 1200-1350 Aprox RPM. I have tried other forums with no help. I registered today I searched for 07 xk drone or hum and BANG! Being new to Jaqguar I didnt know this was a typical XK problem. I was ready to start removing serpentine belts, balance tires, loosen up the exhaust and retighten it and replce wheel bearings. I came here to you all and there it is with part numbers. I will order the brackets and install them confident by all the replies here it will take care of the problem and I look forward to having a drone free Jaguar. I cant tell you how excited I am because I'm the kind of guy that the smallest noise drives me nuts and I have been going crazy over this. My hats off to all of yo here. Thanks! Caperss

07 xk ruble drone.
If the drone happens between 1 and 2000 rpm there is an exhaust hanger for the cat converter that is in the dealer books to fix it. The hanger is redesined. Also. If you get slight vibrations at 70mph your rear rotors are probably warped. I had dealer replace exhaust hangers and I replaced all my rotors and the car was like new again. That and high speed balance may help you out.
