Arnott Industries Air Suspension Strut P/N:AS-5086
Keep your Jaguar's front air ride supported and controlled with the Arnott Industries Air Suspension Strut AS-2888. It is a complete, brand-new front air strut assembly built with OE-quality components. It fits the 2004-2009 Jaguar Vanden Plas, XJ8 and XJR and the 2005-2009 Jaguar Super V8, with either sport or comfort suspension.
At its core is a custom-made, tuned premium monotube shock absorber designed to give a responsive yet comfortable ride. The strut is valved to ride like the OEM suspension. Arnott designed it to address several common high-wear points of the OE strut, including the leaky upper seal, the noisy upper mount and the weak lower rubber seal.
Signs a front air strut may need replacing include a corner that sags after the vehicle sits, a bouncy or harsh ride, or an air compressor that runs more than usual. Diagnose the air system before replacing parts, because other components can cause similar symptoms. For best results, Arnott recommends replacing both front struts at the same time. See the Buyer's Guide tab for engine details.
