Brand Bilstein
Shock Absorber for the rear suspension, comfort suspension specification with adaptive control damping.

The damper works alongside the rear road spring to control wheel and body movement, and forms part of the adaptive damping system. Rather than running a single fixed rate, the unit is switched electrically by the suspension control electronics between a softer and a firmer damping characteristic in response to road input and driver demand.

It is not interchangeable with the passive damper used on vehicles built without adaptive control damping. Two are fitted per vehicle and are replaced as a pair so that damping stays balanced across the axle.

Frequently asked questions

What does this rear suspension damper do?
This rear suspension damper controls the rear spring movement so the wheels stay planted and the body settles after bumps. It's a Bilstein damper for the Jaguar XJ (X308), 1997 to 2003, with comfort and adaptive suspension.
Which Jaguar does this rear damper fit?
This rear damper fits the Jaguar XJ (X308) 1997 to 2003, VIN 812317 to F59525, with comfort and adaptive suspension. Check your VIN and suspension type before ordering, as other setups use a different damper.
Should rear dampers be replaced in pairs?
Rear dampers are typically replaced as an axle pair so both sides damp equally and the XJ (X308) sits level. Fitting one new Bilstein damper against a worn one usually makes the rear feel unbalanced over bumps.
What are the signs this rear damper is worn?
A worn rear damper typically causes a floaty ride, extra body movement over bumps and sometimes fluid leaks. On the XJ (X308) with adaptive suspension, a failing damper may also trigger a suspension warning and reduce ride control.
