Not satisfied with replacing the front suspension, it seems that the X now needs a new drive shaft bearing.
It drives like a 20 year old truck, and being a Jaguar this means that simply replacing the bearing is not possible.
So, off to the main dealer for major wallet surgery.

I wonder if anyone else has had this much st with their cars? I doubt it.

Not taken it there yet. Guy who looked at it was 99% sure thatThat was the problem, but didn't want me to spend 6k + without having it confirmed. Dusty has given me a good guy to call so will try him next!

I am wondering if there is a correlation between this thread, and how slow people drive over speed bumps over here?!

It makes me laugh/angry (depending on how much of a hurry I am in) how slow the 4x4 drivers drive over the speed bumps. I understand in a low car (I drive a Camaro too), but I never realised how much of a car killer these bumps were. Perhaps I need some more patience whilst I drive over them in the Raptor.
Someone on here had a coming-together with an unpainted speed bump at night in their mint Intergrale....caused no end of damageI IIRC.

thanks James, will do some research.
