This rear tie rod, reference number C2D5993, is a direct fit replacement component manufactured to original equipment specifications for Jaguar XF models produced between 2009 and 2015, covering both saloon and Sportbrake variants with petrol and diesel engines including the 3.0 V6, 5.0 V8, 2.2 diesel, and 3.0 diesel. As a critical part of the rear suspension system, this tie rod connects the rear wheel hub to the subframe or body, controlling lateral movement and maintaining proper toe angle and wheel alignment during cornering and uneven road conditions, thereby ensuring stable handling and even tyre wear. Constructed from high strength forged steel with a corrosion resistant zinc nickel coating, this rod offers exceptional durability against road salt, moisture, and impact loads. The ball joint at one end features a hardened stud and a self lubricating polymer bearing that minimises play and ensures smooth articulation, while the bushing at the other end is manufactured from high grade rubber or polyurethane to absorb vibration and reduce noise transmission into the cabin. The thread pitch, mounting hole spacing, and overall length match the factory dimensions exactly, enabling bolt on installation without any modifications or alignment adjustment difficulties. Common failure symptoms include clunking or knocking noises from the rear when driving over bumps, vague rear end steering response, excessive rear tyre shoulder wear, and a drifting sensation during motorway driving; replacing with our unit restores precise rear axle geometry and improves overall driving safety and comfort. Every tie rod undergoes 100 percent tensile strength testing, fatigue cycle validation, and salt spray corrosion testing prior to dispatch. The material meets OEM strength and thermal stability standards, ensuring long term reliability under extreme weather and load conditions. Backed by a 24 month warranty against material and workmanship defects, this rear tie rod offers workshops and individual owners a durable, cost effective solution that maintains your Jaguar XF suspension performance and extends tyre life. Installation is straightforward with standard hand tools and is highly recommended during routine wheel alignment or rear suspension overhaul.
