[quote=mickmate;1159420]Hey Kevin, I looked over your pics. It looks as though you have specifically made a-arms for the front. I have seen other CCX coil over cars where the uppers were modified for coil over and lowers were stock XKE. You have stock Jag geometry from the look of things which works well. It looks like you're missing a ball joint bushing in one of your uprights? How does the taper match up to your ball joints? It may need reaming to match. Those screw in Chrysler type ball joints are the standard for race cars control arms. Good hardware. The later uprights are vented and a better braking set up with a more standard caliper bolt spacing for even more upgrades. They also have a shorter and fatter (translation stiffer) spindle.[/QUOTE
Thanks Nick,
Those are XJS uprights the top taper is much larger than the one on the upper A-arm.
As you say one of the uprights is missing its insert.
Have you seen a sway bar like mine before?
