Does Your 2002 Jaguar Vanden Plas Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first drove your 2002 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 bounces, drifts 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 2002 Jaguar Vanden Plas, bring it in for steering and suspension services. 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, damper springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis parts, axle bearings, and power steering components. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if steering and suspension service is needed, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If your Jaguar Vanden Plas’s suspension or steering system components need to be replaced due to wear and tear, we may also recommend an alignment. Replacing these parts can change the existing ride height and wheel angles.

Jaguar Vanden Plas Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Your 2002 Jaguar Vanden Plas’s suspension system relies on its shocks and struts to function properly. They help you stay in control as your car handles bumpy roads and uneven terrain. While the struts support the structure of the suspension, the shocks keep the car from bouncing too much. These components work together to limit vibration and keep your Jaguar up off the ground. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 2002 Jaguar Vanden Plas’s shocks and struts replaced since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. A bouncy ride, side-to-side swaying, or rocking forward and backward can all point to issues with your Jaguar Vanden Plas shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your Vanden Plas’s shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician. Save yourself the shock of steering and suspension problems by scheduling an appointment at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

2002 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 help you notice when you need new 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? 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.
  • 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 power steering fluid needs to be filled, we can fill it per Jaguar's recommendations to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • 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 front end dip forward when I brake? 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.
  • What are the signs that the shocks on my Jaguar Vanden Plas need replacing? 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.
