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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCommon Problems This Part Can Address\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFront air strut leakage from worn seals or bladder wear\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNoisy or loose upper mount operation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUneven front ride height on Jaguar XJ-series vehicles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHarsh or inconsistent damping response\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuspension warning symptoms tied to failing air strut components\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eFits 2004-2009 Jaguar XJ8, front; fits 2004-2009 Jaguar XJR, front; fits 2004-2009 Jaguar Vanden Plas, front; fits 2005-2009 Jaguar Super V8, front.
