Does Your 2006 Jaguar X-Type Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first drove your 2006 Jaguar X-Type, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Perhaps your X-Type feels bouncy, pulls 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 2006 Jaguar X-Type, bring it in for steering and suspension services. We can pinpoint the source of the trouble.

The technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will start with a suspension inspection to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll check the front and rear suspension, shock absorbers, damper springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis, wheel hub 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 go over the services you need and how much they will cost before we do any work. If your X-Type steering or suspension system requires replacement parts, 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 2006 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 pieces work together to help dampen vibration and hold the car off the ground. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your X-Type’s shocks and struts since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. Bouncing, swaying, or an unusual rocking sensation could all be indicators of worn Jaguar X-Type shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your X-Type’s shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician. Schedule an appointment online and visit your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

2006 X-Type Steering & Suspension Questions

  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact 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. 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? Rotation and alignment are all about making small tweaks that have a big impact. Both services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to all tires and that your tires come into contact with the road as they should.
  • When does Jaguar X-Type power steering fluid need to be inspected or changed? Get your power steering fluid check out when you get an oil change or every couple of 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.
  • What can cause my Jaguar X-Type to have a bouncy ride? 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's nose dive down when I hit 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.
  • How can I tell if the shocks on my Jaguar X-Type are bad? 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.
