Shock Absorber for the rear suspension, sport suspension specification with adaptive control damping.

A gas-pressure monotube damper, supplied without a road spring, mounting by an eye at the lower end and a pin at the upper end. It controls rear wheel and body movement alongside the road spring, and forms part of the adaptive damping system: 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 is the MNC3540 rear shock absorber?
The MNC3540 is a rear shock absorber (damper) for the Jaguar XJ. It's a Bilstein unit that controls rear wheel movement and body control over bumps, keeping the tyres in contact with the road and the ride settled.
Which Jaguars does the MNC3540 rear damper fit?
The MNC3540 fits the Jaguar XJ (X300 and X308) from 1994 to 2003, covering standard, sport and adaptive rear suspension per the catalogue, VIN 812317 to F59525. Suspension type affects the correct damper, so check your VIN and setup before ordering.
How many MNC3540 rear dampers do I need?
Fit the MNC3540 rear dampers as a pair, so order two per vehicle. Replacing both rear sides together keeps damping even side to side. This listing is for one damper.
What are the signs the rear dampers are worn?
Worn rear dampers usually cause a bouncy or floaty ride, extra body movement over bumps, or fluid leaking down the damper body. On the XJ, replacing both rear dampers as a pair restores control and stops the rear feeling loose.
