That car is just so smoooooooth on the highway. I need to repair the rear suspension so I don’t get the annoying CLUNKS when I hit a bump. The plan is to finally put it in the garage for much needed maintenance over the weekend.
Also my celebration about fixing the audio was short lived.
There are a couple things that could be causing this issue. My repair could have failed, could be a voltage issue (took it on the drive because the battery was low), or could be a head unit issue. Next step is to look into replacing or bypassing the changer. Also going to look at swapping out the battery that is in there for the correct one. (Thanks shady dealer!)
Interestingly, this time the Nav rebooted and then starting getting intermittent static in the display. I... didn’t even think that was possible!

New bushings on the rear suspension maybe? Btw, that license plate is gold.

The rear shocks are pretty much shot. Bushing especially but they’re also leaking. Unfortunately you, allegedly, can’t buy the bushing separately and the shocks $300 each so... I’m waiting until I take care of the 1000 other things it needs before pulling the trigger.

Do you have to buy OEM parts?

Sort of. I can buy the Jag branded ones for $800 or the Blistei n ones for $300. Same part, different sticker haha. The R came with adaptive suspension that pretty much only went on that car.
