Jaguar XJR, XKR, XJ8 & XK8 – How to Replace Rear Suspension Subframe Assembly

My Jaguar XJR failed the Virginia state inspection because the rear suspension subframe was rusted and broken into two. In this video, the repair shop replaced the broken subframe and my Jaguar XJR passed the VA state inspection.

Hi EJ my 2004 Jaguar XJ8 front driver side speed sensor is defective due to which the ABS and DSC warning lights have come on. The reason I know it’s the front left speed sensor because the guy who replaced my rotors and brake pads mistakenly pinched the cable in one of bolts which the Jaguar dealership checked and informed me.
I just want your advise on where to get the front speed sensor part for cheap and best.
Thanks EJ!

Oh EJ, the inspection saved you on time. It is really risky to drive especially on the highway with high speed. Your hard work paid off. Interesting to know how this part is being fixed. You take care. Stay safe with your family.

TheNortheastAl says:

Micheal Davis says:

I know how good it feels it pass the state inspection in a jaguar I got a 2007 xj8 and I did EVERYTHING to the dam cat just throwing parts at it then one day I took it to a place a run a scan on it and they reseted the dam computer and my check engine light stayed off then I got it to pass for my 11 21 stickers I was soooooooo happy man

Bigpoppapump says:

Is that a regular steel or carbon steel? Cause some metal gets rusty easily on cold country even an aluminum get snap as well!

classic kool says:

I'm amazed the rusted part didn't fail, you lose control of the car and have a gravely catastrophic event. I said to myself, "This dude has an army of Guardian Angels looking out for him" ….. Then, the Monarch Butterfly shows up! … That was my confirmation! .. "Yep, we work OVERTIME with THIS guy!" …. I bet you do, Angel!!
