Frame and suspension damage

I have an 06 X-Type with 9000 miles. I bought it from a dealer with 7000 miles on it and had it shipped 1700 miles on an open carrier. After awhile, I noticed handling problems, as well as suspension and tire noises. Having the car checked by my local Jag dealer, they found damage to the sub-frame hub carrier, which I had replaced but now it won't go into alignment, needing suspension parts that are damaged. Parts that need replacement are front lower wishbones, and hub assembly and vertical links, both sides for each. I didn't incur the damage. Any ideas how this degree of damage could have occured?

I have an 02 X Type manual shift. I have has the shifting boot replaced 2x ( $140) . It is now cracked again across the front. I used Armoral liberally and it still cracked.
Suggestions?
I'm thinking of removing it and get it made of leather at a local amish shop. Anyone know how to remove it?

Thanks for your replys, more questions for you tho, only had this jag for a few months and is my 1st jag, thinking of chopping it in already tho. u mention 25-27 MPG from yours!? mine is a constant four wheel drive 60% back 40% front, I guess this must have a really negitive effect on fuel (MPG). the car i'm looking at buying I cant afford at the mo so am odopting the idea of performance upgradings (any suggestions? without making it look modified/a max power wanna be?) and forgetting MPG what you think?

Just bought one this week as well. '03 2.5 car with auto trans. During the test drive I noted a bit of driveline noise, but after getting it out on the highway between 50 and 70 mph it seemed much more prominent. I just took back my '05 Infiniti G35 at end of lease having driven Nissan and Infiniti's for years - and was looking for something with more charisma. Only drive 6 miles to the office each day but in NE Ohio AWD is a good idea.. Should I be concerned about this hum? It sounds like my Pathfinder with manual transfer case if you drove it on a dry road...

Sad to say, but, if you read the previous 2525 postings, you shouldn't be too surprised; grief seems to come as standard equipment with a Jag.

My 06 hummed from the day I bought it. Dealer couldn't find anything wrong with it. Two months ago, I replaced the OE Continental tires with Yokohamas and had it aligned. Now it's dead quiet. Check your tires for signs of mis-alignment. Mine cupped on the inner tread, and, were really noisy at interstate speeds. I disagree with the other fellow - this is my second X Type, the first being an 03 2.5. Yeah, the 03 had a few problems, but it was the best foul weather and long trip car I ever owned. Then the local dealer offerer me a hot deal and I swapped it for a better equipped 3.0 Liter model.

Try to be aware of whether or not you are in sport mode. I have a 2002 2.5 and have found a significant difference in gas milage between continuously driving in sport mode as opposed to driving in OD. Use sport mode as needed! RH
