Is It Time For 1997 Jaguar Vanden Plas Suspension Service?

During the first few years you had your 1997 Jaguar Vanden Plas, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Maybe your Vanden Plas bounces, sways to one side, or makes an unusual noise when going over a speed bump. The first sign of trouble is the best time to bring your 1997 Jaguar Vanden Plas in for suspension and steering service. 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 will examine the front and rear end suspension, shocks, springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis components, axle bearings, and the power steering system. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if your car needs steering and suspension repairs, we’ll go over the services you need and how much they will cost before we do any work. 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.

Shock & Strut Replacements for Your Jaguar Vanden Plas

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 1997 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. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 1997 Jaguar Vanden Plas’s shocks and struts replaced since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. A bouncy ride, swaying from side to side, or rocking forward and backward could all be signs of worn Jaguar Vanden Plas shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 1997 Jaguar Vanden Plas suspension shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride. Schedule an appointment for steering and suspension services at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

1997 Vanden Plas Steering & Suspension Questions

  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact 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.
  • Why bother with routine wheel alignments and tire rotations for my Jaguar Vanden Plas? Rotations and alignments involve minor tweaks that have a major impact. Both services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to all tires and that the tires connect with the road how Jaguar intended.
  • Does my Jaguar Vanden Plas power steering fluid need to be checked? Have your power steering fluid inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. If your Vanden Plas is low on power steering fluid, we’ll top it off per Jaguar's guidelines to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • What can cause my Jaguar Vanden Plas to have a bouncy ride? 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? 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.
  • How can I tell if the shocks on my Jaguar Vanden Plas are bad? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your Vanden Plas feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your Vanden Plas travels over minor bumps.
