Common Problems: JAGUAR S-TYPE
Known issues reported by owners and MOT testers.
- Front Lower Wishbone Rear Hydrobush Fluid Leak & Ball Joint Play(Moderate)
The large fluid-filled hydraulic compliance bushes on the curved front lower control arms rupture and weep black fluid, leading to steering shimmy under braking and MOT failure.
- Sill & Rear Subframe Mounting Corrosion Concealed Behind Plastic Covers(Serious)
Road dirt and wet road salt accumulate behind the full-length plastic sill threshold covers and around the rear subframe front mounting heel boards, corroding structural steel out of plain sight.
