When To Get 2003 Jaguar S-Type Suspension Service

During the first few years you had your 2003 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. The first sign of trouble is the best time to bring your 2003 Jaguar S-Type in for steering and suspension services. We can pinpoint the source of the trouble.

We'll start by inspecting the suspension system to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shock dampeners, springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis components, axle bearings, and power steering system parts. We’ll get to the root of the issue 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.

Jaguar S-Type Replacement Shocks & Struts

Your 2003 Jaguar S-Type’s suspension system relies on its shocks and struts to function properly. They help you stay in control as your car handles bumpy roads and uneven terrain. Shocks keep the car from bouncing too much and struts support the structure of the suspension. These components work together to limit vibration and keep your Jaguar up off the ground. But there's no set schedule for 2003 Jaguar S-Type shock and strut replacement since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. Bouncing, swaying, or rocking forward and backward could all be signs of worn Jaguar S-Type shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your S-Type’s shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician. Schedule an appointment online and visit your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

2003 S-Type Steering & Suspension Questions

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my S-Type's steering and 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.
  • Why bother with routine wheel alignments and tire rotations for my Jaguar S-Type? Rotation and alignment are all about making small tweaks that have a big impact. Both services help ensure that the correct amount of pressure is applied to each tire and that your tires come into contact with the road as they should.
  • Does my Jaguar S-Type power steering fluid need to be checked? Have your power steering fluid checked when you get an oil change or every few months. If your power steering fluid needs to be filled, we’ll top it off per Jaguar's guidelines to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • 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? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your S-Type's front end to dip forward. A damaged or faulty suspension system may fail to distribute the weight and force effectively, causing the front end to dip even more.
  • 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.
