Shock Absorber for the rear suspension, comfort suspension specification.

The damper works alongside the rear road spring, converting suspension movement into heat so that wheel and body oscillation is brought under control and the tyre stays loaded against the road surface. It is a passive unit with a fixed damping rate; vehicles built with adaptive control damping take a different damper.

Two are fitted per vehicle. They are replaced as a pair so that damping stays balanced across the axle.

Frequently asked questions

What is this rear shock absorber for?
This rear shock absorber (Comfort) damps the rear suspension on the Jaguar XJ X308, keeping the rear wheels controlled over the road. It's a Bilstein Comfort-specification unit for VIN 812317 to F59525. Supplied as a single damper.
What does the Comfort specification mean here?
The Comfort damper suits the standard XJ X308 suspension, tuned softer than the sports setup. Make sure your car has the Comfort specification before ordering, since a sports-suspension car needs a different rear damper. Checking both sides match avoids an uneven rear.
Which XJ X308 does it fit?
This rear Comfort damper fits the Jaguar XJ X308 from 1997-2003, VIN 812317 to F59525. Confirm your VIN before ordering. Cars outside that range or with sports suspension use a different rear damper.
What are the signs the rear damper needs replacing?
A worn rear damper typically causes a bouncy or wallowing rear, poor bump control, and uneven rear tyre wear on the XJ X308. Fluid leaking down the body is another sign. Replace rear dampers in pairs to keep the axle balanced.
