Is It Time For 2001 Jaguar S-Type Suspension Service?

When you first drove your 2001 Jaguar S-Type, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Perhaps your S-Type feels bouncy, drifts to one side, or makes noise whenever you turn or drive over a speed bump. As soon as you notice that something’s “off” with your 2001 Jaguar S-Type, bring it in for suspension and steering service. We'll pinpoint the problem.

The expert technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will begin with an inspection to find out what's really going on. We’ll take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shock dampeners, damper springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis components, wheel bearings, and power steering components. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if your S-Type suspension system needs repair, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If parts of your Jaguar S-Type suspension or steering system need to be replaced because they're worn or damaged, we may also recommend an alignment. Replacing these parts can change the existing ride height and wheel angles.

Shock & Strut Replacements for Your Jaguar S-Type

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2001 Jaguar S-Type suspension system. They contribute to your car’s handling, keeping it from bottoming out when the road gets bumpy. While the struts support the structure of the suspension, the shocks keep the car from bouncing too much. These components work together to limit vibration and keep your Jaguar up off the ground. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your S-Type’s shocks and struts since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. Bouncing, swaying, or an unusual rocking sensation could all be indicators of worn Jaguar S-Type shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 2001 Jaguar S-Type’s shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride. Schedule an appointment for steering and suspension services at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

Questions About 2001 Jaguar S-Type Steering & Suspension

  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact my Jaguar's suspension? Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, and also alert you to the need for new tires. A tire that doesn't have an adequate amount of tread can't grip the road or function as well as the manufacturer intended.
  • Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important for my Jaguar S-Type? Rotations and alignments involve minor tweaks that have a major impact. Both services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to all tires and that the tires connect with the road how Jaguar intended.
  • When does Jaguar S-Type power steering fluid need to be inspected or changed? Have your power steering fluid inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. If your S-Type’s power steering fluid is low, we can fill it per Jaguar's recommendations to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • Why does my Jaguar S-Type bounce so much? If your shocks or struts are in bad shape, they can’t dampen road bumps like they should. This can cause your S-Type to bounce more than usual.
  • What can cause the front end of my S-Type to dip forward when I apply the brakes? When you brake, the forward momentum combined with your vehicle's weight sends a lot of force to the vehicle's front end. A bad suspension can cause all that weight and force to push the front end downward.
  • What do worn Jaguar S-Type shocks feel like? If your S-Type shock absorbers are worn out, they won’t be able to properly dampen road bumps. You might experience a bouncy or unstable ride, especially over bumps or rough roads. Your S-Type might also feel like it sways or rolls as you turn.
