When To Get 1986 Jaguar Vanden Plas Suspension Service

When you first bought your 1986 Jaguar Vanden Plas, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Maybe your Vanden Plas jolts, sways 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 1986 Jaguar Vanden Plas, bring it 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, shocks, damper springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis, wheel bearings, and power steering system parts. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if your car needs steering and suspension repairs, we’ll explain what your car needs and how much it’ll cost to get it done. We won't begin any work without your permission. If your Vanden Plas steering or suspension system requires replacement parts, we may also recommend a wheel alignment since replacing steering and suspension parts can change existing wheel angles and ride height.

Jaguar Vanden Plas Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 1986 Jaguar Vanden Plas suspension system. They influence the control and handling of the vehicle, keeping it from bottoming out. 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. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 1986 Jaguar Vanden Plas’s shocks and struts replaced since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. Bouncing, swaying, or rocking forward and backward could all be indicators of worn Jaguar Vanden Plas shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 1986 Jaguar Vanden Plas suspension 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.

1986 Vanden Plas Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in my Jaguar's suspension? Maintaining your tires can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also help you notice when you need new tires. A faltering steering and suspension system could lead to uneven tire wear.
  • Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important for my Jaguar Vanden Plas? Alignment and rotation seem like minor services, but they have a major impact on your vehicle. Such services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to your tires and that the tires come into contact with the road in the way Jaguar intended.
  • Does my Jaguar Vanden Plas 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 follow Jaguar service specifications when topping it off to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • Why is my Jaguar Vanden Plas bouncing excessively? Excessive bouncing in your Jaguar Vanden Plas might be due to damaged struts or shocks that are unable to absorb road bumps effectively, causing your vehicle to feel more like a pogo stick than a smooth ride.
  • 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.
  • How do I know if I have worn Jaguar Vanden Plas shocks? Worn Vanden Plas shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your Vanden Plas might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your Vanden Plas shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
