THE X-Type suspension system is a variation of the one Ford has used on the current-generation Mondeo (not sold here) comprising twin-tube MacPherson struts up front and a multi-link configuration at the rear. The front suspension uses a fabricated steel cross-member and L-shaped lower control arm incorporating a "hydrabush" for increased dynamic performance and refinement. At the rear, the multi-link torsion control link system is the first of its kind used on a Jaguar. Sport models have unique spring, damper and anti-rollbar settings for tauter and more responsive handling.
