Shock Absorber - Front - hydraulic damper in the front suspension assembly.

The damper is mounted between the front suspension arm and its upper mounting on the body structure, and controls the rate at which the front road spring compresses and rebounds. This keeps the tyre loaded against the road surface and limits body movement under braking and cornering; the spring carries the vehicle weight, the damper controls its motion.

Dampers are replaced in axle pairs so damping rates stay matched from side to side.

Frequently asked questions

What is the MXD2140AB-B front shock absorber for?
The MXD2140AB-B is a front shock absorber (road spring damper) for the Jaguar XK8 and XKR (X100), supplied by Bilstein to OEM specification. It damps the front suspension, controlling spring movement over bumps on the front axle.
Which Jaguar XK does this damper fit?
This front damper fits the Jaguar XK8 and XKR (X100) with R Performance suspension, from VIN A30645, using the Bilstein unit. Confirm your VIN and that the car has the R Performance setup before ordering.
When should the front shock absorber be replaced?
A front shock absorber typically needs replacing when the car floats or bounces over bumps, dives under braking, or the damper leaks fluid. Worn dampers on the XK8/XKR reduce control and tyre grip. Shock absorbers are usually replaced in axle pairs.
