Is It Time For 1990 Jaguar Vanden Plas Suspension Service?

During the first few years you had your 1990 Jaguar Vanden Plas, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Maybe your Vanden Plas bounces, sways to one side, or makes a weird sound when you drive over a speed bump or turn. The first sign of problems is a good time to bring your 1990 Jaguar Vanden Plas 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’ll take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shock dampeners, springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis parts, axle bearings, and power steering components. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if your Vanden Plas suspension system needs repair, 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 Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 1990 Jaguar Vanden Plas’s suspension. 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 factors affect how fast and severely they wear. A bouncy ride, side-to-side swaying, or rocking forward and backward could all be signs 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. Save yourself the shock of steering and suspension problems by scheduling an appointment at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

1990 Vanden Plas Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact my Jaguar's suspension? Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, and also alert you to the need for 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 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 power steering fluid needs to be filled, we can fill it per Jaguar's recommendations to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • Why is my Jaguar Vanden Plas bouncing excessively? 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? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your Vanden Plas's front end to dip forward. A damaged or faulty suspension system may fail to distribute the weight and force effectively, causing the front end to dip even more.
  • What do worn Jaguar Vanden Plas shocks feel like? 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.
