Extremely impressed with your repair, mainly the attention to all the details and not skipping any steps in your instructional is on POINT in your video! Subscribed! I am going to be getting one of the XTS and have not driven it yet.. just curious how many miles you were at on the vehicle you were replacing suspension on…? I see in some of the comments clunking sounds when taking off sounds like was one of the indicators of worn out suspension. On a Land Rover I had the lower A arm rear bushings worn out which were main cause for clunking when taking off from stop. Have you or any others noticed that on the XTS?

Hello thank you 😊 I tried to make very detailed videos to help people who are trying to buy one of these make an inform decision. This car has 125k miles on it. If you check out some of my other videos on this car, you will see that I replaced the engine mounts and today I am working on replacing the rear bearings and the suspension bar.

Thank you for sharing! I appreciate it! I have a 2015 with electronic struts, mine are worn causing horrible dampening characteristics and the strut top is worn out causing noise when the top of the strut tries to move around. Mine has right at 80k miles. Great video!

Do you know what suspension code the vehicle has? My wife just bought a 2014 XTS V sport. I ordered full struts and they aren't fitting the tube diameter is about two MM larger that than the OEM strut. A1 auto is where I ordered than from. They said it's part number. I even sanded and cleaned the inside of the knuckle where the strut slides in and sanded/deburred then end of the new strut. Where did you get your struts, do you remember the part number? Thanks.
