Does Your 2008 Jaguar X-Type Suspension Need Inspection?

During the first few years you had your 2008 Jaguar X-Type, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Perhaps your X-Type feels bouncy, drifts to one side, or makes noise whenever you turn or drive over a speed bump. The first sign of trouble is the best time to bring your 2008 Jaguar X-Type in for suspension and steering service. 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 will examine the front and rear end suspension, shocks, damper springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis parts, axle bearings, and power steering system parts. We’ll get to the source of your car problems 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 recommend a wheel alignment since replacing steering and suspension parts can change existing wheel angles and ride height.

Jaguar X-Type Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2008 Jaguar X-Type suspension system. They help you stay in control as your car handles bumpy roads and uneven terrain. Shocks keep the car from bouncing too much and struts support the structure of the suspension. These components work together to limit vibration and keep your Jaguar up 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. A bouncy ride, side-to-side swaying, or an unusual rocking sensation could all be signs of worn Jaguar X-Type shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 2008 Jaguar X-Type’s 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 2008 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 help you notice when you need new 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? Rotation and alignment are all about making small tweaks that have a big impact. 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 inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. If your X-Type’s power steering fluid is low, we can fill it per Jaguar's recommendations to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • Why does my Jaguar X-Type bounce so much? 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? 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 X-Type shocks feel like? If your X-Type shock absorbers are worn out, they won’t be able to properly dampen road bumps. You might experience a bouncy or unstable ride, especially over bumps or rough roads. Your X-Type might also feel like it sways or rolls as you turn.
