What vehicles are compatible with these rear air suspension shocks?
▾
These shocks fit Jaguar XJ, XJ8, XJR, Super V8, and Vanden Plas models from 2004 to 2010, including X350, X351, and X358 platforms. Always verify fitment using your 17-digit VIN to ensure accuracy for your specific trim and wheelbase.
Does this kit include both left and right rear air shocks?
▾
Yes, this product is a rear pair, including both left and right air suspension shocks. It is designed for complete rear axle replacement to ensure balanced performance and prevent uneven ride height or handling issues.
How do air suspension shocks differ from regular shock absorbers?
▾
Air suspension shocks combine a shock absorber with an air spring, allowing automatic ride height adjustment. Regular shocks only dampen motion and require separate springs, while air shocks maintain level ride under varying loads and road conditions.
Is professional installation recommended for these air shocks?
▾
Yes, due to the complexity of air suspension systems, professional installation is recommended. Technicians can properly connect air lines, reset ride height sensors, and diagnose related compressor or valve issues during replacement.
Can I use these shocks if my air suspension compressor is failing?
▾
Replacing shocks alone won’t fix a failing compressor. The entire air system—including compressor, dryer, and valves—should be inspected. A failing compressor may damage new shocks, so address root causes before installation.
