Arnott Industries Air Suspension Strut P/N:AS-5086
Help your Jaguar's rear end ride level and composed with the Arnott Industries AS-2889 Air Suspension Strut, a complete rear strut assembly built with OE-quality components. It is a direct-fit replacement for the 2004-2009 Jaguar XJ8, 2004-2009 Jaguar XJR, 2004-2009 Jaguar Vanden Plas and 2005-2009 Jaguar Super V8, and fits models with either sport or comfort suspension. This strut is completely new.
It features a custom-made, tuned premium monotube shock absorber designed to give a responsive yet comfortable ride, and it is valved to ride like the OEM suspension. Arnott designed the strut to address many of the common high-wear weak points of the original strut, such as a leaky upper seal, a noisy upper mount and a weak lower rubber seal.
Signs a rear air strut may need replacing include a rear corner that sags after the car has been parked, an air suspension warning message, an air compressor that runs more often than normal, or a hissing air leak near the strut. Diagnose the cause before replacing parts, and see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine details on each application.
