Wanted, Rubber Cap on top of Shock Absorber

Postby t-stag » Tue Feb 26, 2019 10:20 am

Hi. My Garage managed to lose one of the rubber caps that fit on top of the front shock absorbers.
Not been able to find one in parts catalogues or on eBay.
Has anyone got one spare that they don't need?
Thanks

I would get the garage to replace it, they should be more careful with cars of this age! However, I've just been looking for seats on ebay and stumbled across what you're looking for.
eBay item number:
173733771021
Hope that helps

Good luck and hope you find the right one.

Might be worth pushing the boat out and buying a pair of these Steve. I'm quite pleased with mine:-

Ordered from eBay: SUSPENSION NUT COVER CAP / FRONT SHOCK MOUNTING - Jaguar XK8 XKR 1996-2006
( 291726672406 ). Unfortunately it is the wrong item, these are the nut covers 3 each side.
So I am still looking for the central larger rubber cap.

I have seen the large one on ebay, try the following search: xk8 suspension cover cap. It's showing one at £9.99. Hope the helps.
