Jaguar XJ8 V8 SE (2004)
Discussion
Hi, All. I'm new to this, so please excuse my inexperience. I own a Jaguar V8 SE and recently I've had a few probs with it, which so far hasn't been completely resolved.
It has developed a sound, which I can only describe as a 'rattle', as though something has come loose on the offside front area. It is only really noticeable when I'm driving on an uneven surface and also there is a sort of 'grinding' sound when I turn the car to the left. It has been in the garage to be looked at and they are finding it very difficult to discover where the problem is. They test drive it and hear the sound, but when they get it up on the ramp and try to 'wiggle' things, they can't because everything is solid! I'll tell you what they've fixed so far, although not produced a result!
Front Anti-Roll Bar Drop Links
O/S/F Shock Absorber Lower Mounting Bush
Personally, I think they should have replaced both 'Mounting Bushes', especially as the sound is coming from the near side.
Anyone got any ideas?
