Does Your 2002 Jaguar X-Type Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first drove your 2002 Jaguar X-Type, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Perhaps your X-Type feels bouncy, pulls to one side, or makes a weird sound when you drive over a speed bump or turn. The first sign of trouble is the best time to bring your 2002 Jaguar X-Type in for steering and suspension repairs. 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, shock dampeners, damper springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis, wheel 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 parts of your Jaguar X-Type suspension or steering system need to be replaced because they're worn or damaged, we may also suggest a wheel alignment because installing new steering and suspension components may alter wheel angles and ride height.

Shock & Strut Replacements for Your Jaguar X-Type

Your 2002 Jaguar X-Type’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. 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 2002 Jaguar X-Type’s shocks and struts replaced since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. Bouncing, side-to-side swaying, or an unusual rocking sensation could all be indicators of worn Jaguar X-Type shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2002 Jaguar X-Type suspension shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride.

Questions About 2002 Jaguar X-Type Steering & Suspension

  • What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in my Jaguar's suspension? Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, and also let you know when it's time to replace your 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 X-Type? 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 come into contact with the road in the way Jaguar intended.
  • Does my Jaguar X-Type 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 X-Type is low on power steering fluid, we’ll top it off per Jaguar's guidelines to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • Why does my Jaguar X-Type bounce so much? If it feels like you’re on a trampoline every time your X-Type 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 X-Type to dip forward when I apply the brakes? The forward dip in the front end of your X-Type when you brake is caused by the weight and momentum transferring to the front wheels. If your suspension system is in bad shape, it can fail to distribute this force, leading your front end to dip further downward.
  • How can I tell if the shocks on my Jaguar X-Type are bad? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your X-Type feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your X-Type travels over minor bumps.
