Is It Time For 2001 Jaguar Vanden Plas Suspension Service?

When you first bought your 2001 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, leans 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 2001 Jaguar Vanden Plas in for suspension and steering service. We can pinpoint the source of the trouble.

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, coil springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis parts, wheel bearings, and the power steering system. We'll get to the root of the problem 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 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

Your 2001 Jaguar Vanden Plas’s suspension system relies on its shocks and struts to function properly. They contribute to your car’s handling, keeping it from bottoming out when the road gets bumpy. While the struts support the structure of the suspension, the shocks keep the car from bouncing too much. These pieces work together to help dampen vibration and hold the car off the ground. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 2001 Jaguar Vanden Plas’s shocks and struts replaced since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. A bouncy ride, swaying, or rocking forward and backward could all be indicators of worn Jaguar Vanden Plas shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 2001 Jaguar 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.

Questions About 2001 Jaguar Vanden Plas Steering & Suspension

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my Vanden Plas's steering and suspension? Keeping your tires properly inflated can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also help you notice when you need new tires. A tire that doesn't have an adequate amount of tread can't grip the road or function as well as the manufacturer intended.
  • 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. 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 checked when you get an oil change or every few months. If your power steering fluid needs to be filled, 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.
  • Why does my Vanden Plas's nose dive down when I hit 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? 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.
