Is It Time For 2011 Jaguar XJ Suspension Service?

When you first drove your 2011 Jaguar XJ, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Maybe your XJ jolts, leans 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 2011 Jaguar XJ in for steering and suspension services. We'll figure out what needs to be taken care of, if anything.

We'll start by inspecting the suspension system to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll check the front and rear suspension, shock dampeners, damper springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis components, wheel hub 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 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 parts of your Jaguar XJ 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.

Jaguar XJ Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Your 2011 Jaguar XJ’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 components work together to limit vibration and keep your Jaguar up off the ground. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 2011 Jaguar XJ’s shocks and struts replaced since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. A bouncy ride, swaying, or rocking forward and backward could all be signs of worn Jaguar XJ shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2011 Jaguar XJ suspension shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician. Save yourself the shock of steering and suspension problems by scheduling an appointment at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

2011 XJ 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 help you notice when you need new tires. A faltering steering and suspension system could lead to uneven tire wear.
  • Why should my Jaguar XJ get regular tire rotations and wheel alignments? Regularly rotate tires and adjust wheel alignment. Alignment and rotation seem like minor services, but they have a major impact on your vehicle. Such services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to your tires and that the tires connect with the road how Jaguar intended.
  • Does my Jaguar XJ power steering fluid need to be checked? Have your power steering fluid checked when you get an oil change or every few months. If your XJ’s power steering fluid is low, we can fill it per Jaguar's recommendations to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • Why is my Jaguar XJ bouncing excessively? If your shocks or struts are in bad shape, they can’t dampen road bumps like they should. This can cause your XJ to bounce more than usual.
  • Why does my XJ's nose dive down when I hit the brakes? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your XJ'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 XJ shocks? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your XJ feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your XJ travels over minor bumps.
