Is It Time For 1998 Jaguar Vanden Plas Suspension Service?

During the first few years you had your 1998 Jaguar Vanden Plas, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Maybe your Vanden Plas bounces, sways to one side, or makes an unusual noise when going over a speed bump. As soon as you notice that something’s “off” with your 1998 Jaguar Vanden Plas, bring it in for steering and suspension services. We'll figure out what needs to be taken care of, if anything.

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, shock dampeners, damper springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis components, wheel hub bearings, and the power steering system. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if steering and suspension service is needed, 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 parts of your Jaguar Vanden Plas suspension or steering system need to be replaced because they're worn or damaged, we may also recommend an alignment. Replacing these parts can change the existing ride height and wheel angles.

Shock & Strut Replacements for Your Jaguar Vanden Plas

Your 1998 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. Struts support the structure of the suspension and shocks keep the car from bouncing too much. These components work together to limit vibration and keep your Jaguar up 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. Bouncing, swaying from side to side, or rocking back and forth can all point to issues with your Jaguar Vanden Plas shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 1998 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.

1998 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 alert you to the need for new tires. Uneven tire wear is one sign of steering and suspension system problems, but it can also contribute to more.
  • Why should my Jaguar Vanden Plas get regular tire rotations and wheel alignments? Regularly rotate tires and adjust wheel alignment. 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 come into contact with the road in the way Jaguar intended.
  • When does Jaguar Vanden Plas power steering fluid need to be inspected or changed? Get your power steering fluid check out when you get an oil change or every couple of months. If your Vanden Plas is low on power steering fluid, we’ll top it off per Jaguar's guidelines to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • Why is my Jaguar Vanden Plas bouncing excessively? If it feels like you’re on a trampoline every time your Vanden Plas goes over a bump or dip, you may have a problem with your struts or shocks. Faulty shocks and struts can’t properly absorb road bumps, leading to a bouncy ride.
  • What can cause the front end of my Vanden Plas to dip forward when I apply the brakes? When you brake, the forward momentum combined with your vehicle's weight sends a lot of force to the vehicle's front end. A bad suspension can cause all that weight and force to push the front end downward.
  • How do I know if I have worn Jaguar Vanden Plas shocks? Worn Vanden Plas shock absorbers can cause your vehicle to feel like it's bouncing or hopping over bumps instead of absorbing the impacts smoothly. You may also experience more body roll when turning.
