Product Details

Arnott’s NEW product line focuses on complete replacement air suspension components rather than remanufactured assemblies. The AS-2888 front air strut follows that approach with a new bladder, updated sealing components, and an OE-inspired damping coil to restore ride quality and reduce common failure points. This part number is engineered for Jaguar vehicles with sport or comfort suspension, and it is a direct replacement choice for drivers servicing Jaguar XJ, XJ8, XJR, Vanden Plas, or Super V8 front suspension systems. Arnott recommends replacing both front struts at the same time on Jaguar XJ applications for balanced performance. This part cross-references Jaguar C2C20162 and C2C41349 for the same application.

Common Problems This Part Can Address

• Front air strut leakage from worn seals or bladder wear
• Noisy or loose upper mount operation
• Uneven front ride height on Jaguar XJ-series vehicles
• Harsh or inconsistent damping response
• Suspension warning symptoms tied to failing air strut components
