Nice video. Nice camera angle and good audio level. Plus it was instructional. Thanks. This will help me with my project.

Stop no jack under the ball end damage might happen to the ball , Use a hex wrench inside the threaded stud instead to hold it from spinning

Nice video It was a good advice for my 2001XKR maintenance. By the way have you change the oil seal on steering rack?? I need help

I think you should have replaced the whole arm as the joint on the other was very loose too. good vid though

where can I get a repair manual for a 97 xk8?

Click the link below and then do a text search for "manual". There are some links about 3/4ths of the way down the page where you can download .pdf versions of the manual. www.jaguarforums.com/forum/xk8-xkr-x100-17/xk8-xkr-how-diy-repair-maintenance-links-facts-data-29800/

what year?

That's a 2003, but all XK8's are the same. 1996-2006 all use the same tie rod ends. In 2007 Jaguar came out with the XK, which is totally different than the XK8. (Jaguar's naming scheme is very confusing.)
