A cheap, 5 speed manual 2003 Jag S-Type, what's not to love? I bought this old Jag with the 3.0 V6 in it and after driving it a bit, I had to fix it. After fixing the engine in the last video it was time to move on to the suspension that was basically all worn out. I'm replacing all the tie rods and sway bar end links... but when it came time to align it things went south. No matter how much we moved the rear tie rods the alignment simply stay out of spec. I'm going to try again but for now, the front end is WAY better!

Always good to "Know a guy"....kudos to Johnny at GAW! I gotta say if I had access to a cool lift and tools, I'd probably do more work myself. Nice deal you have there, help him with stuff and he let's you use a bay/lift. That trailer at the end is wicked cool! Be fun to have a "road trip" in that for sure!! Nice TRX air!!

JR, another trick to get new tie rod ends located is while the original is on, measure from the center of the joint up the rod 10" (any set distance) and scratch a mark. No counting needed as you just screw the new on until the measurement matches. Great video!

Same! I changed the entire steering rack, rack bushings, and inner and outer tie rods. Took it for an alignment and when i came to get it they said "No charge". I was like "why?" and they said it was already perfect. I've changed plenty of front end parts on many cars, and never had that happen again lol

This is a problem Lincoln LS owners have too. they just wont align properly. Its just due to the chassis aging, and certain parts strethcing ever so slightly over time. IK most LS owners get modified Tie rods and things.

I hated the oem Jaguar lugnuts cause everytime when i went to the shop with somekind of problem the service technician constantly stripped my lugnuts and i ended up buying new ones. One day i got really tired of it and started to digging the internet for some solution and i found a company in LA California who have recognized this problem and they manufactured out of chrome steel. Got a whole set and after that my problem has gone.
@paulsengupta971
@paulsengupta971 Год назад
The chrome-steel ones are pretty cheap on e-bay, I bought a whole load of them to replace all of mine on both my S-type and XF. The original equipment ones with the capped rusty steel are not good, especially if the garage putting your wheels on torques them to factory spec. I had two snap on the S-type trying to get them off. That's when I went looking for new ones which weren't the factory ones!

Reminds me of swapping my front subframe, upper and lower control arms on my Mazda rx8, I eyeballed everything and took it for an alignment and everything was dead in spec except my driver's toe which was dead on the limit, the alignment guy didn't believe that I set everything by eye, but then said do you want a job. Hahaha, rear arms are more tricky as it's multi link(5 per side) and toe affects camber and vice versa.

If it is not the bushings. I think that the car is old enough and heavy enough to have the springs replaced. I would double-check the bearing now that you have the rest of the suspension tight.

It's the same setup as my XJ X350. I can't get it aligned because the front is so loose that I get a different reading every time it goes on the tracking machine, but they can't tell which bushing is causing the problem. It's probably all of them 😭

The worst alignment I ever had was with my old beater. I went for the alignment while replacing the tires the car had since I bought it and they told me I needed to shim the left rear hub. As I drove out of the shop I realized the vibration had been from a bent hub, not the China tires! How did they not notice?
