Does Your 2006 Jaguar S-Type Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first bought your 2006 Jaguar S-Type, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Maybe your S-Type bounces, drifts to one side, or makes a weird sound when you drive over a speed bump or turn. The first sign of trouble is the best time to bring your 2006 Jaguar S-Type in for suspension and steering service. We can pinpoint the source of the trouble.

The technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will start with a suspension inspection to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll check the front and rear suspension, shock absorbers, damper springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis components, axle bearings, and power steering system parts. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if your car needs steering and suspension repairs, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If your S-Type steering or suspension system requires replacement parts, we may also suggest a wheel alignment because installing new steering and suspension components may alter wheel angles and ride height.

Jaguar S-Type Replacement Shocks & Struts

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2006 Jaguar S-Type suspension system. They influence the control and handling of the vehicle, keeping it from bottoming out. Struts support the structure of the suspension and shocks keep the car from bouncing too much. These components work together to reduce vibration and maintain your car’s height. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 2006 Jaguar S-Type’s shocks and struts replaced since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. Bouncing, swaying from side to side, or an unusual rocking sensation can all point to issues with your Jaguar S-Type shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 2006 Jaguar S-Type’s shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician. Save yourself the shock of steering and suspension problems by scheduling an appointment at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

2006 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 let you know when it's time to replace your 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? 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 come into contact with the road in the way Jaguar intended.
  • When should I have my Jaguar S-Type power steering fluid checked? Have your power steering fluid inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. If your S-Type is low on power steering fluid, we’ll follow Jaguar service specifications when topping it off to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • Why is my Jaguar S-Type bouncing 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.
  • Why does my S-Type tilt forward when I hit the brakes? The forward dip in the front end of your S-Type when you brake is caused by the weight and momentum transferring to the front wheels. If your suspension system is in bad shape, it can fail to distribute this force, leading your front end to dip further 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.
