When To Get 2005 Jaguar X-Type Suspension Service

During the first few years you had your 2005 Jaguar X-Type, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Maybe your X-Type bounces, sways to one side, or makes a weird sound when you drive over a speed bump or turn. As soon as you notice that something’s “off” with your 2005 Jaguar X-Type, bring it in for steering and suspension services. We'll figure out what needs to be taken care of, if anything.

The technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will start with a suspension inspection to diagnose your vehicle. We will examine the front and rear end suspension, shock dampeners, springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis components, wheel bearings, and the power steering system. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if your X-Type suspension system needs repair, 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 X-Type 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 X-Type Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2005 Jaguar X-Type’s suspension. They influence the control and handling of the vehicle, keeping it from bottoming out. Struts support the structure of the suspension and 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 2005 Jaguar X-Type’s shocks and struts replaced since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. A bouncy ride, swaying from side to side, or rocking forward and backward can all point to issues with your Jaguar X-Type shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your X-Type’s shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician. Schedule an appointment online and visit your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

2005 X-Type Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • 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. Uneven tire wear is one sign of steering and suspension system problems, but it can also contribute to more.
  • 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.
  • When does Jaguar X-Type power steering fluid need to be inspected or changed? Have your power steering fluid checked when you get an oil change or every few months. If your X-Type is low on power steering fluid, we can fill it per Jaguar's recommendations to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • Why is my Jaguar X-Type bouncing 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? As you brake, the forward momentum of your X-Type combined with its weight sends a ton of force to its front end. A damaged or worn suspension system can cause the front end to compress and dip even further.
  • What are the signs that the shocks on my Jaguar X-Type need replacing? Worn X-Type shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your X-Type might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your X-Type shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
