Rear Lower Control Arm Availability and Compatibility

[rgorke]

I have a very annoying squeak from my driver's side rear end. I used a mechanics stethoscope and am fairly certain it is coming from the LCA. I sprayed some silicon lubricant into the bushings and the terrible squeak has receded.

Looking on RockAuto, there are Mevotech arms for a 2003 (states up to 11/18/2002). I am not super keen on the Mevotech products but they may be ok if I plan to use my OEM arms and reload the bushings with Poly or Jag bushings.

Anyone use LCAs from Amazon? I am sure they are similar in quality to the Mevotech.

There are some Lemforder but they are >$300 each.

Can anyone confirm the compatibility of later Jag rear suspension parts? The ones that I have seen surely "look" like they would be compatible but looks can be deceiving. Specifically arms from later S type, XF, or even XK. I was thinking of calling my local Jag dealership to see if they could confirm that 2000-2002 suspension part compatibility with later models.

It's been a few years since I did mine but I think the Jag ones work but you need an additional washer or something, I used Moog when I did mine, there are threads on here about them but when they upgraded the forum they broke the search feature, you can still search if you use Google and use the tags to search this forum only, I forget how to do that also but you can Google it I'm sure.
