J. Skatton’s first humble contribution to the XK community on YouTube. The symptom was a occasional vibration on front of the car on speed around 90 km/h. Replacing the shock bushings on both sides fixed the issue. And yes, it is BUSHING, not a bush.
Here is the link to referred sam1174’s video: https://youtu.be/fdE4s98mY7Q
Sam has lots of other XK goods in his channel as well.
The black parts are from a ball joint assembly set, see http://www.bgstechnic.com/products/detail/4292.
The Jag is MY2001 about 150000km on odometer.

Nice video. I have a slight vibration and a thump driving over bumps on my S-type. I looked at the lower shock bushing, they look goods but feel real soft. So I think I will replace. Thanks for the useful video.
Nice job Mr. Skatton. Appreciated this. Just bought an XK8 that will require this job.
