Jag IFS Possibilities

To you Jag guys in the know. I've been searching and have only managed to confuse myself about what year/model of Jag to look for to get the right IFS and possibly IRS.

I found this on Craigslist.

http://http://oklahomacity.craigslist.org/cto/3424355120.html

Is a 1979 Jag XJS (series 2) in the correct model range?

Thanks in advance

Kreg

You want a Series 3 Jag. 79 - 92. Check out everydayxj.com. for parts. I got a complete IFS from a 86 xj6 for a hundred bucks. Shipping was extra of course but I have been more than happy with the customer service I have received. Get the power steering pump as well.

According to my notes, either the series 2 or series 3 will work, but also according to those notes a 79 is a series 3.

From what I've read on this site, any Jag with round headlights will work. Stay away from Jags with square headlights.

Thanks for the replies. I've heard series 3 only, and I've heard both are fine. To complicate things, I've seen both series 2 and 3 for model year 1979.

I guess since its not too far away, I'll just need to go see it.

I'll also check the link to the jag site...thanks!

That will work. Same front end as the series 3 XJ6. The XJS had a larger sway bar.
