This may necessitate the replacement of the shock absorbers part. Over time, the shock absorbers can actually rotate in service which may cause the electrical connections to be pulled off. XK8 / XKR Suspension Problems If you have a car fitted with CATS and the rear suspension is not working effectively then this can be a problem with the electrical connections from the shock absorber going into the wiring loom.
The settings will change in micro settings as braking, cornering and road conditions affect the car. On start up the springs default to a stiffer setting and then under way on a smooth road, will soften. Sensors at the front and rear of the car monitor the road and handling conditions and alter the electronic dampers to soften or stiffen the dampers. This optimises the ride and handling of the car by means of uprated springs to increase the stiffness and electronic adaptive dampers under electronic control.
To date, the following are the main issues related to the Jaguar XK8 and XKR Rear Suspension parts assembly: CATS (Computer Active Technology Suspension) System Although based on the older X300 rear suspension design, a new modification was the introduction of CATS. However problems are starting to present which the XK8 / XKR owner needs to be aware of. The assembly and associated parts are based on the proven Jaguar X300 system which in turn was based on the older Jaguar XJ40 system. The Jaguar XK8 and XKR Rear Suspension system has generally been very robust in service.
