Arnott AS-2889 Air Suspension Strut - Rear

Rear Air Strut for Jaguar XJ Series

Arnott AS-2889 is a new rear air suspension strut for Jaguar XJ series vehicles with sport or comfort suspension. It uses a premium monotube shock absorber and a new ContiTech air bladder to deliver controlled damping and consistent air spring performance for Jaguar XJ8, XJR, Vanden Plas, and Super V8 rear suspension service.

Key Features

• New, not remanufactured rear air suspension strut
• Premium monotube shock absorber with hydraulic internal damping
• New ContiTech air bladder with heavy-duty crimping rings
• New O-rings, spring isolators, and O.E.-inspired damping coil
• Air adjustable and gas charged design
• Black boot included with upper mounting isolator
• Progressive spring rate and shock spring assist for responsive ride control
• Fits Jaguar vehicles with sport or comfort suspension

Product Details

Arnott built AS-2889 to address common wear points found in the original Jaguar rear air strut, including upper seal leakage, upper mount noise, and lower rubber seal weakness. The design combines a new air spring assembly with a tuned monotube damper to maintain ride quality while restoring rear suspension height control. This part number is a direct replacement choice for rear suspension repair on Jaguar XJ8, XJR, Vanden Plas, and Super V8 models, and it is backed by Arnott’s Limited Lifetime Warranty. Arnott recommends replacing both rear struts at the same time on Jaguar XJ applications. This part cross-references Jaguar C2C20162 and C2C41347 for the same application.

Common Problems This Part Addresses

• Rear corner sagging or uneven ride height
• Air leaks from the original strut bladder or seals
• Noisy rear suspension operation from worn upper mount components
• Harsh or inconsistent rear damping response
• Loss of air suspension performance on Jaguar XJ rear suspension systems

Installation Notes

Compatible with rear suspension positions only. Confirm vehicle suspension type before ordering, since this strut fits Jaguar vehicles equipped with sport or comfort suspension. Inspect the opposite rear strut, air lines, and related suspension components during service, and replace both rear struts together when wear is present on both sides. Mounting hardware is not included.

Quality Assurance

Arnott AS-2889 is a new air suspension strut engineered with new internal and air spring components rather than remanufactured parts. It is covered by Arnott’s Limited Lifetime Warranty.
