I have been told that you do not need to have a spring compression tool to replace the front inner lower suspension bushes on a 2000 Jaguar xj8 Vanden plas. Is this correct? Please advise as I have worked on all of the earlier jag front suspensions but they all needed a special spring compression tool to change the bushings. Could you lead me through the complete removal / replacement proceedure.

If you are taking the front lower control arm off of the lower suspension, then yes you need a special spring compressor to load the spring. Hope this helps
