SUBJECT:

JAGUAR SUSPENSION GEOMETRY SPECIFICATION

Because of Jaguar's continuing efforts to upgrade vehicle durability and handling qualities, the Workshop Manual, Technical Service Bulletin J83/30,
and the recently issued "Performance Masters" audio-visual program all provide seemingly conflicting suspension and steering geometry specifications.
These specifications are each correct depending on the year model and VIN of the vehicle to be repaired.
