that confused me, are you saying the spring won't follow the contour of the isolator until it is compressed?
Correct.

But that one doesn't say front or rear. Im assuming rear... because it lists both engines.

That doesn't even match the part numbers I gave at the beginning of this thread.
So it seems something has changed since I did my Jag conversion.
Not my fault. I didn't know... and I don't know what's going on now.
This is why I have repeatedly suggested to anyone interested in doing this... to call a Jag dealer and verify the parts.
So you had me spinning my wheels for nothing... when you knew the part numbers were correct.
Gee thanks.
Well worth going to a shop that has the proper shop press to install shock absorbers into the Springs ...I couldn't agree more with you 04' Sport ...even rhe best shop presses that are made to do this day they push it to the limit ...talking from experienceKeep in mind also that the top mounting plate has a contour too... so everything has to be "clocked" properly.
Are you planning on doing this yourself? It's very dangerous disassembling and re assembling these. Especially using one of the threaded rod spring compressors. Even the air powered spring compressors can fail. Just because of the danger level... I rate the difficulty level of doing this... at an 8 out of 10... 10 being most difficult.
DON'T use a rental version of the above. You don't know how it's been abused... or how many times.
The last thing you want to do... is widow your wife, and orphan your kids.
