Is It Time For 1996 Jaguar XJ12 Suspension Service?

When you first bought your 1996 Jaguar XJ12, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Maybe your XJ12 bounces, sways to one side, or makes an unusual noise when going over a speed bump. As soon as you notice that something’s “off” with your 1996 Jaguar XJ12, bring it in for steering and suspension services. We'll pinpoint the problem.

The expert technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will begin with an inspection to find out what's really going on. We will examine the front and rear end suspension, shock dampeners, springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis parts, wheel bearings, and power steering components. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if your car needs steering and suspension repairs, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If your XJ12 steering or suspension system requires replacement parts, we may also recommend an alignment. Replacing these parts can change the existing ride height and wheel angles.

Shock & Strut Replacements for Your Jaguar XJ12

Your 1996 Jaguar XJ12’s suspension system relies on its shocks and struts to function properly. They contribute to your car’s handling, keeping it from bottoming out when the road gets bumpy. 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 1996 Jaguar XJ12 shock and strut replacement since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. Bouncing, swaying, or an unusual rocking sensation can all point to issues with your Jaguar XJ12 shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 1996 Jaguar XJ12’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 1996 Jaguar XJ12 Steering & Suspension

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my XJ12's steering and 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 should my Jaguar XJ12 get regular tire rotations and wheel alignments? Regularly rotate tires and adjust wheel alignment. 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.
  • Does my Jaguar XJ12 power steering fluid need to be checked? Get your power steering fluid check out when you get an oil change or every couple of months. If your XJ12 is low on power steering fluid, we can fill it per Jaguar's recommendations to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • What can cause my Jaguar XJ12 to have a bouncy ride? If your shocks or struts are in bad shape, they can’t dampen road bumps like they should. This can cause your XJ12 to bounce more than usual.
  • Why does my XJ12's nose dive down when I hit the brakes? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your XJ12'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.
  • What are the signs that the shocks on my Jaguar XJ12 need replacing? Worn XJ12 shock absorbers can cause your vehicle to feel like it's bouncing or hopping over bumps instead of absorbing the impacts smoothly. You may also experience more body roll when turning.
