Introduction
The Jaguar S-TYPE has an all-new suspension,
designed with traditional Jaguar refinement but
with an added sporty feel for the driver. Both
front and rear suspensions have double wishbone
construction with the front having a high balljoint.
JaguarÕs Computer Active Technology Suspension
(CATS), is offered as an optional fit to further
enhance the vehicle ride and handling quality.
The suspension arrangement offers a standard set-
up for most markets. The front and rear control
arms are set at angles to counteract dive when
braking and squat when accelerating, giving a
stable platform under most conditions. It is vitally

cross members or the rear axle cross members,
the vehicle body and the component being
removed are marked to ensure correct
realignment during assembly. The Jaguar S-TYPE
body-in-white fixings have a greater clearance
than previous Jaguar cars so require this extra
special care with alignment on re-assembly.
Vibration and ride and handling concerns may
arise if alignment is not maintained.

Front Suspension
The independent front wheel suspension is a
double wishbone axle arrangement with
aluminium control arms. The two arms are of
different lengths, which minimises the changes in
track and camber. Inclination of the upper control
arm axis provides anti-dive front suspension
action. There are two front cross members,
known as Number 1 and Number 2.
Number 1, the forward cross member, is a steel
fabrication, non-isolated, which locates the lower
control arm front mounting, the anti-roll bar and
the cooling module.
The rear cross member, Number 2, is an
aluminium casting, non-isolated and it locates the
lower control arm rear mounting, the power
steering rack and the engine hydro-mounts.
WARNING: No attempt must be made to
weld or repair the aluminium cross
member. If it is damaged, a new one must
be installed.
Lower Control Arm
The lower control arm is an aluminium forging
and has locations for the damper and the anti-roll
bar drop link. It is mounted with one hydro-bush,
the front lower bush, and one rubber bush, both
serviceable. This is the first time that a hydraulic
bush has been fitted to a Jaguar wishbone. The
hydro-bush is tuned for refinement and helps to
J.204.402
reduce brake vibration.
Service adjustments for caster and camber can be
made to the lower control arm geometry with the
addition of cam bolts (not supplied with the
vehicle).

Vertical Front Knuckle
The vertical front knuckle is an aluminium casting
with integral steering arm, installed between the
upper and lower control arms. The lower ball joint
is serviceable and is a press fit. The knuckle
locates the upper balljoint, riveted disk shield and
brake calliper and wheel bearing/hub. The wheel
bearing is a new type and contains the integral
ABS rotor and sensor. The bearing is not
serviceable and must be replaced as a complete
unit. A service kit is available for the ABS sensor.

Rear Suspension
The rear suspension is a double wishbone
arrangement with aluminium control arms. The
rear crossbeam is steel fabricated and isolated to
the body with four bushes. The crossbeam locates
the upper and lower control arms and the anti-
roll bar.
Control arms are aluminium castings and heavily
inclined in plan view. The lower control arm
locates the damper and anti-roll bar drop link.
The damper fixing is tapped into the aluminium
casting.
The upper control arm has one cross axis bush
and one rubber bush. It contains an integral
balljoint.
The rear knuckle is an aluminium casting and has
a press fit cartridge bearing.
The independent rear suspension upper and
lower front bushes are conventional rubber
bonded bushes. The upper and lower rear bushes
contain no rubber and are essentially pressed in
ÔroseÕ bearings for superior suspension geometry
control. These are common components between
all vehicle variants and are a similar concept to

Camber caster and toe are adjustable on the front
suspension only. Toe is the only adjustment on the
rear suspension. Camber and caster are adjusted
by means of eccentric cams on the lower control
arm mounting bolts. The front toe is adjusted by
use of the front tie rod. The rear toe is adjusted by
the use of toe link assemblies connecting the
knuckles to the rear sub-frame.
Anti-roll Bars
There are two types of front anti-roll bars, one for
all V6 and base V8 engined vehicles and one for
V8 sport. There are two types of rear anti-roll
bars, one for all V6 and base V8 engined vehicles
and one for V8 sport.
All anti-roll bars are similar to current saloon
except that the front bushes have moulded insert
for tuning.
Springs and Dampers
There are numerous variants to suit both
ÔstandardÕ and ÔsportÕ derivatives of the V6 and V8
engined vehicles. Both front and rear springs and
dampers are similar to current sports vehicles.
With a strut type assembly, integrated top mount
and two-position lower spring pan. The front and
rear co-axial strut and spring assemblies are
installed between the lower control arms and the
vehicle body.
Sports dampers are CATS only, as XK series.
The CATS suspension is similar to the system
introduced on the XK8. It is a two-stage adaptive
damping ride control. The control module is
located in the rear left-hand corner of the spare
wheel well. Three accelerometers are fitted. The
front vertical and lateral accelerometers are
mounted as an assembly to the vapour
management valve bracket. The lateral

vehicles. The bushes are not bonded in place but
require a special lubricant when assembling. Care
must be taken to ensure that the replacement
bushes are pushed fully home, the angular
orientation of the bushes is important and it is
essential to mark the position of the subframe
before removing from the vehicle or else driveline
alignment will be lost.

control (yaw control). The rear vertical
accelerometer is fixed to the rear electronic
control module (RECM) bracket on the rear right-
hand side of the luggage compartment between
the rear wheel arch and the rear lamp pack.
Suspension Alignment
A special tool has been designed to enable correct
alignment of the suspension to the body.
Connected to a personal computer, a transducer
with a wire measuring device is fitted to a plate
attached to the Number 2 cross member.
Alignment pins are fitted to the body front and
rear to the left-hand side chassis rail and to the
rear suspension beam. Measurements are taken
from one point on the Number 2 beam. Then the
transducer is transferred to the other point on the
beam and a second set of measurements taken.
The PC then calculates if there is any
misalignment and by how much, and displays the
information on the screen. The beam(s) are then
adjusted to bring the alignment back within limits
and a further series of measurements are taken.
This process is repeated until the alignment is
correct and the beams are then tightened. A
print-out of the measurements is to be attached to
the job card as a permanent record of alignment.
Note that camber, caster and toe may be required
if any of the beams have been adjusted.

Driveline
Introduction
The driveline is a standard type with the engine
position at the front and driven rear axle. This will
be the first time that Jaguar has used in-plant
driveline balancing to improve noise, vibration
and handling. The driveline is finely balanced at
the rear driveshaft joint. The centre bearing is
laser aligned during initial factory build.
The alloy rear engine mountings have two
variants, one for automatic transmission and one
for manual transmission. They are both
serviceable items. The V6 auto is the same as the
V8 but rotated in plan by 180 degrees. The rubber
mountings are carry over concept from the
current XJ and XK Series vehicles but are not
D.307.322
DRIVELINE ARRANGEMENTinterchangeable with them. Both automatic
transmission rubber mountings are common but
with a softer unique mount for the manual V6
transmission.
In service if they are replaced, ensure that there
are buffer gaps and that they are approximately
equal. Neither will be contaminated by lubricant
or automatic transmission fluid.
Driveshaft
The S-TYPE has a two-piece welded steel tube
driveshaft with a splined centre slip joint and
locking collar, the whole being aligned with the
body centreline. The driveshaft has rubber flex
couplings and a rubber, body-mounted, centre
bearing. For safety, the front tube is collapsible.

JAGUARS-TYPEChassis
54The centre joint is a conventional hookes joint
with staked lugs and the rubber flex couplings
have spigoted sleeves to the transmission and rear
axle final drive unit (three bolt fixings)
All driveshafts are balanced. If undercoating the
vehicle, protect the driveshaft, universal joints
and the axleshafts to prevent overspray of the
undercoating material.
Driveshaft weight is:
¥ V6 auto 12.7 kg
¥ V8 auto 13.4 kg
¥ V6 manual 14.1 kg
Serviceable parts are the centre bearing, flex
coupling, rubber boot, alignment bearing and
fasteners. Lubrication of the driveshaft
components is unnecessary. The universal joint is
equipped with nylon thrust washers, located at
the base of the bearing cup.
Balancing of the driveshaft is achieved using a
PDU with the new vibration analyser. This gives
details of where the shaft is out of balance and by
how much and where to place the balance nuts.
Final Drive (differential)
The final drive, differential, has a steel case and
rear cover, no drain plug and has a sealed for life
lubricant. Differential weight is 27 kilograms and
oil capacity 1.5 litres of synthetic oil (M2C192A).
The hypoid gearset is mounted in taper roller
bearings. It has a two point differential assembly
retained by bearing straps. The central pinion is
on the body centreline. Pinion and output oil
seals, the companion flange and nut and the
needle roller output bearing are the only
serviceable items.
Final drive ratios are:
3.31:1 (V6 and V8 auto)
2.87:1 (V6 manual)
Differential Mountings
The crossbeam forms the mounting points for the
three differential mounting bushes. All three
bushes are conventional rubber bushes, common
to all S-TYPE vehicles and are serviceable items.
They control the driveline and isolate differential
noise and vibration. Avoid disturbing the subframe
mounts when servicing differential bushes. The
front differential bush is a two-part bush and the
RH and LH rear bushes are handed and colour
coded to differentiate them
Half-shafts
Half-shafts are unequal lengths and are therefore
handed, left and right. Constant velocity joints are
fitted to both ends, the outer is fixed and the
inner is sliding. They are sealed for life and
retained in the differential side gear with a spring
clip.
Weights are approximately
V6 size - 100 8.89kg (LH) 8.76kg (RH)
V8 size - 104 9.43kg (LH) 9.3kg (RH)
Serviceable parts are:
¥ the pinion and output oil seals
¥ companion flange and nut
¥ output bearing (needle roller)
Note: It is possible that the replacement or repair
of gears, bearings or shafts may be introduced at a
later date.

Brakes
Brake Control Module
Brakes are controlled with a Teeves Mk 20E brake
modulator.
The anti-lock brake/traction control, control
module (ABS/TCCM) contains the integral software
for ABS and traction control, similar to current XJ
and XK Series vehicles. It is supplied as a 10 valve,
4-channel module and calibration is the same to
all powertrains. It is connected to the SCP bus for
traction control, warnings and vehicle speed.
Dynamic Stability Control
Dynamic stability control (DSC) is a new Jaguar
safety feature, which uses ABS and traction
control to control yaw movements of the vehicle.
Yaw is the rotary motion of the vehicle on its
vertical axis, a force that would cause oversteer or
oversteer or sideslip. The dynamic stability
control module (DSCM) contains the same
software as described but with the addition of IVD
software. The modulator is supplied as a 12 valve,
4-channel module calibrated for base suspension
only. The connectors differ between the two; the
10 valve unit has a 25-way with sliding cam, as
