Was this the last video on the XK8?

What a waste of time watching this see nothing

I'll be doing this job soon. I wish you'd filmed the actual removal and installation.

i think swearing helps

Seems easier to just replace the whole shock? Idk?

hey i have the same one just like yours however whever i brake it vibrates like a rattlesnake and im curious if you know what the issue may be, it also doesnt have the front bushings installed yet so i wonder if its the combination of no bushings and bented rotors, also great job thats a very nice xk8 compared to mine where the whole back bumper is rusted ha ha. Cheers from Miami, FL!
