Arnott AS-2890 Air Suspension Strut - Front

Arnott AS-2890 Front Air Strut

Arnott AS-2890 is a new front air suspension strut for Jaguar X350 and X358 chassis vehicles with Sport Suspension. It is built for the Jaguar XJ series, including XJ8, XJR, Vanden Plas, and Super V8 applications, with a focus on responsive ride control and OE-style fitment.

Key Features

• New, not remanufactured, front air suspension strut
• Premium monotube shock absorber tuned for a sporty ride
• New ContiTech air bladder
• Heavy-duty crimping rings, O-rings, and dampening coil
• Eliminates common OE wear points such as upper seal leaks, noisy upper mount, and weak lower rubber seal
• Air adjustable and air ride suspension design
• Mounting hardware included
• Limited Lifetime Warranty

Product Details

The Arnott NEW product line focuses on replacement air suspension components engineered as complete new assemblies rather than remanufactured units. AS-2890 follows that approach with a custom-tuned monotube damper, hydraulic internal damper type, progressive spring rate, and a new air bladder assembly. For Jaguar XJ owners, this means a front strut built to address common failure points while maintaining the sport suspension character of the vehicle. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

Common Problems This Part Can Address

• Front suspension sag or uneven ride height
• Air leaks from worn bladder or seals
• Noisy upper mount operation
• Reduced damping control on Jaguar XJ front suspension
• Ride quality changes caused by worn OE air strut components
