Is It Time For 2004 Jaguar X-Type Suspension Service?

When you first bought your 2004 Jaguar X-Type, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Maybe your X-Type jolts, leans to one side, or makes noise whenever you turn or drive over a speed bump. The first sign of problems is a good time to bring your 2004 Jaguar X-Type in for suspension and steering service. We'll pinpoint the problem.

We'll start by inspecting the suspension system to diagnose your vehicle. We will examine the front and rear end suspension, shock dampeners, springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis parts, axle bearings, and power steering system parts. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if your car needs steering and suspension repairs, 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 Jaguar X-Type’s suspension or steering system components need to be replaced due to wear and tear, we may also suggest a wheel alignment because installing new steering and suspension components may alter wheel angles and ride height.

Jaguar X-Type Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2004 Jaguar X-Type suspension system. 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 X-Type’s shocks and struts replaced since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. Bouncing, swaying, or rocking forward and backward could all be signs of worn Jaguar X-Type shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2004 Jaguar X-Type suspension shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride. Schedule an appointment for steering and suspension services at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

Questions About 2004 Jaguar X-Type Steering & Suspension

  • 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 let you know when it's time to replace your 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.
  • Why bother with routine wheel alignments and tire rotations for my Jaguar X-Type? Alignment and rotation seem like minor services, but they have a major impact on your vehicle. Both services help ensure that the correct amount of pressure is applied to each tire and that the tires come into contact with the road in the way Jaguar intended.
  • When should I have my Jaguar X-Type power steering fluid checked? Have your power steering fluid checked when you get an oil change or every few months. If your X-Type’s power steering fluid is low, we can fill it per Jaguar's recommendations to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • Why is my Jaguar X-Type bouncing excessively? Excessive bouncing in your Jaguar X-Type might be due to damaged struts or shocks that are unable to absorb road bumps effectively, causing your vehicle to feel more like a pogo stick than a smooth ride.
  • Why does my X-Type front end dip forward when I brake? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your X-Type's front end to dip forward. A damaged or faulty suspension system may fail to distribute the weight and force effectively, causing the front end to dip even more.
  • How do I know if I have worn Jaguar X-Type shocks? 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.
