WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2018 Jaguar XE and 2017 Jaguar XE. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The forged aluminum lower forward control arm is fitted with a bush in its inner end which locates between brackets on the subframe. This joint is fitted with a sacrificial slip mechanism to prevent major suspension components from suffering damage in the event of a front longitudinal impact to the wheel. Refer to the Operation section for further information.
The outer end of the front lower control arm is fitted with a cross axis joint and locates between the cast brackets on the rear lower lateral control arm.
