Is It Time For 2008 Jaguar S-Type Suspension Service?

When you first drove your 2008 Jaguar S-Type, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Perhaps your S-Type feels bouncy, sways to one side, or makes an unusual noise when going over a speed bump. The first sign of problems is a good time to bring your 2008 Jaguar S-Type in for suspension and steering service. We'll pinpoint the problem.

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 dampeners, coil springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis, wheel bearings, and power steering system parts. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if steering and suspension service is needed, we’ll go over the services you need and how much they will cost before we do any work. If parts of your Jaguar S-Type suspension or steering system need to be replaced because they're worn or damaged, we may also suggest a wheel alignment because installing new steering and suspension components may alter wheel angles and ride height.

Jaguar S-Type Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Your 2008 Jaguar S-Type’s suspension system relies on its shocks and struts to function properly. They contribute to your car’s handling, keeping it from bottoming out when the road gets bumpy. Struts support the structure of the suspension and shocks keep the car from bouncing too much. These pieces work together to help dampen vibration and hold the car off the ground. But there's no set schedule for 2008 Jaguar S-Type shock and strut replacement since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. Bouncing, swaying, or an unusual rocking sensation 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 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.

2008 S-Type Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in my Jaguar's 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 faltering steering and suspension system could lead to uneven tire wear.
  • Why should my Jaguar S-Type get regular tire rotations and wheel alignments? Regularly rotate tires and adjust wheel alignment. Alignment and rotation seem like minor services, but they have a major impact on your vehicle. 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? Get your power steering fluid check out when you get an oil change or every couple of months. If your S-Type is low on power steering fluid, we can fill it per Jaguar's recommendations to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • Why is my Jaguar S-Type bouncing excessively? If it feels like you’re on a trampoline every time your S-Type goes over a bump or dip, you may have a problem with your struts or shocks. Faulty shocks and struts can’t properly absorb road bumps, leading to a bouncy ride.
  • 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.
  • How do I know if I have worn Jaguar S-Type shocks? Worn S-Type shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your S-Type might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your S-Type shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
