Does Your 1989 Jaguar Vanden Plas Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first bought your 1989 Jaguar Vanden Plas, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Maybe your Vanden Plas jolts, drifts 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 1989 Jaguar Vanden Plas in for steering and suspension repairs. We'll pinpoint the problem.

The expert technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will begin with an inspection to find out what's really going on. We’ll take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shocks, springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis parts, axle 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 Jaguar Vanden Plas’s suspension or steering system components need to be replaced due to wear and tear, we may also recommend a wheel alignment since replacing steering and suspension parts can change existing wheel angles and ride height.

Shock & Strut Replacements for Your Jaguar Vanden Plas

Your 1989 Jaguar Vanden Plas’s suspension system relies on its shocks and struts to function properly. They influence the control and handling of the vehicle, keeping it from bottoming out. Shocks keep the car from bouncing too much and struts support the structure of the suspension. These pieces work together to help dampen vibration and hold the car off the ground. 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, swaying from side to side, or rocking back and forth could all be signs of worn Jaguar Vanden Plas shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 1989 Jaguar Vanden Plas suspension shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician.

Questions About 1989 Jaguar Vanden Plas Steering & Suspension

  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact my Jaguar's suspension? Maintaining your tires can help reduce strain on the suspension, 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 bother with routine wheel alignments and tire rotations for my Jaguar Vanden Plas? 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.
  • 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 Vanden Plas’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll follow Jaguar service specifications when topping it off to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • Why is my Jaguar Vanden Plas bouncing excessively? If your shocks or struts are in bad shape, they can’t dampen road bumps like they should. This can cause your Vanden Plas to bounce more than usual.
  • Why does my Vanden Plas's nose dive down when I hit the brakes? The forward dip in the front end of your Vanden Plas 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.
  • How can I tell if the shocks on my Jaguar Vanden Plas are bad? 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.
