They're independant wishbone-type and jolly heavy. The driveshaft acts as the top wishbone. They're wide too, although they can be
narrowed, but that costs £££.
Lots of LSD's though. I think this is too heavy-duty for a low-torque motor.
The last live axled Jag's were the MKII's Salisbury as I remember like the Scimitar GTE's)
Cheers,
Neil.

I had an xjs and can confirm all that the above poster says.
absolutely wrong for a locost and probably accounts for a lot of the weight of a jag.
it uses a seperate diff, giant diff carrier and drive shafts as the shafts and diff do indeed function as the top wishbone! there is also a trailing
arm each side.
