Rear Lower Arms Replacement

Postby aparky85 » Fri Jan 18, 2019 12:47 am

My X350 needs it's rear lower arms replacing, but I can't seem to find anyone who stocks them other than in a kit that includes upper arms and various other bits and pieces.

Does anyone know were I can get hold of the lower arms by themselves?

Many thanks.

Contact a Jaguar Main Dealer, SNG Barrett, David Manners, British Parts or our friend Neville Anderson at Jaguar Spares North East.

Replacement bushes may also be had from Neville or Racing Green Cars at about £30 each. Details on bush changing may be found in the suspension sections of this site under X350 or S-type.

Dependent on whether you intend doing this work yourself and have access to a bench press, bush changing as opposed to complete suspension arm changing is possible with the right equipment and tooling. Once off the car, a bush can usually be removed and replaced in about fifteen minutes. I`ve done loads of these bush changes over the years and as a bet, managed to remove one and replace it within five minutes...but I was going like stink to do it and I knew the job backwards. Not recommended!

Prices for complete arms have dropped hugely over the years. Originally they were in the region of £764 plus VAT each. Then the aftermarket kicked in and down came the prices. The last price I heard of via the Jaguar Main Dealer net was around £176 plus VAT per unit.

Type into Google/eBay, "Jaguar X350 suspension wishbones" and see what you can find. These parts are plentiful and not hard to source.

As Mike says, complete lower wishbone arms available from Jaguar. Price is about £205 + vat depending on VIN and L/R side. see here:

Your local dealer should give you a reasonable discount as a JEC member. I usually get c20% from my dealer.

Good luck
