Does Your 2004 Jaguar Vanden Plas Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first bought your 2004 Jaguar Vanden Plas, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Perhaps your Vanden Plas feels bouncy, sways to one side, or makes noise whenever you turn or drive over a speed bump. As soon as you notice that something’s “off” with your 2004 Jaguar Vanden Plas, bring it 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’ll take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shock absorbers, damper springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis, 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 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 Replacement Shocks & Struts

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2004 Jaguar Vanden Plas’s suspension. They influence the control and handling of the vehicle, keeping it from bottoming out. While the struts support the structure of the suspension, the shocks keep the car from bouncing too much. These components work together to reduce vibration and maintain your car’s height. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 2004 Jaguar Vanden Plas’s shocks and struts replaced since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. Bouncing, swaying, or rocking back and forth could all be indicators of worn Jaguar Vanden Plas shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2004 Jaguar Vanden Plas suspension shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician.

2004 Vanden Plas Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • 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. Uneven tire wear is one sign of steering and suspension system problems, but it can also contribute to more.
  • Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important for my Jaguar Vanden Plas? Rotations and alignments involve minor tweaks that have a major impact. 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.
  • Does my Jaguar Vanden Plas power steering fluid need to be checked? Get your power steering fluid check out when you get an oil change or every couple of months. If your power steering fluid needs to be filled, we’ll follow Jaguar service specifications when topping it off to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • 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.
  • 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.
