When To Get 1984 Jaguar Vanden Plas Suspension Service

During the first few years you had your 1984 Jaguar Vanden Plas, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Maybe your Vanden Plas bounces, leans to one side, or makes a weird sound when you drive over a speed bump or turn. As soon as you notice that something’s “off” with your 1984 Jaguar Vanden Plas, bring it in for steering and suspension repairs. We'll figure out what needs to be taken care of, if anything.

We'll start by inspecting the suspension system to diagnose your vehicle. We will examine the front and rear end suspension, shock absorbers, coil springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis components, wheel bearings, and power steering system parts. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if your Vanden Plas suspension system needs repair, we’ll go over the services you need and how much they will cost before we do any work. If your Jaguar Vanden Plas’s suspension or steering system components need to be replaced due to wear and tear, we may also recommend an alignment. Replacing these parts can change the existing ride height and wheel angles.

Jaguar Vanden Plas Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 1984 Jaguar Vanden Plas’s suspension. They contribute to your car’s handling, keeping it from bottoming out when the road gets bumpy. Shocks keep the car from bouncing too much and struts support the structure of the suspension. These components work together to reduce vibration and maintain your car’s height. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your Vanden Plas’s shocks and struts since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. Bouncing, side-to-side swaying, or rocking back and forth could all be indicators of worn Jaguar Vanden Plas shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your Vanden Plas’s shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride.

Questions About 1984 Jaguar Vanden Plas Steering & Suspension

  • What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in my Jaguar's suspension? Keeping your tires properly inflated can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also let you know when it's time to replace your tires. Uneven tire wear is one sign of steering and suspension system problems, but it can also contribute to more.
  • Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important for my Jaguar Vanden Plas? Rotations and alignments involve minor tweaks that have a major impact. Both services help ensure that the correct amount of pressure is applied to each tire and that the tires connect with the road how Jaguar intended.
  • When does Jaguar Vanden Plas power steering fluid need to be inspected or changed? Have your power steering fluid checked when you get an oil change or every few months. If your Vanden Plas is low on power steering fluid, we’ll follow Jaguar service specifications when topping it off to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • Why does my Jaguar Vanden Plas bounce so much? Damaged struts or shocks can't dampen road bumps properly, causing your vehicle to feel like a trampoline after each dip or bump.
  • Why does my Vanden Plas front end dip forward when I brake? As you brake, the forward momentum of your Vanden Plas combined with its weight sends a ton of force to its front end. A damaged or worn suspension system can cause the front end to compress and dip even further.
  • What are the signs that the shocks on my Jaguar Vanden Plas need replacing? If your Vanden Plas 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 Vanden Plas might also feel like it sways or rolls as you turn.
