Is It Time For 1983 Jaguar XJ6 Suspension Service?

When you first bought your 1983 Jaguar XJ6, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Maybe your XJ6 bounces, drifts to one side, or makes an unusual noise when going over a speed bump. The first sign of trouble is the best time to bring your 1983 Jaguar XJ6 in for suspension and steering service. 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’ll check the front and rear suspension, shock dampeners, coil springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis components, axle bearings, and power steering system parts. We’ll get to the root of the issue 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 parts of your Jaguar XJ6 suspension or steering system need to be replaced because they're worn or damaged, we may also recommend an alignment. Replacing these parts can change the existing ride height and wheel angles.

Jaguar XJ6 Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 1983 Jaguar XJ6’s suspension. They contribute to your car’s handling, keeping it from bottoming out when the road gets bumpy. Shocks keep the car from bouncing too much and struts support the structure of the suspension. These pieces work together to help dampen vibration and hold the car off the ground. But there's no set schedule for 1983 Jaguar XJ6 shock and strut replacement since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. Bouncing, side-to-side swaying, or rocking back and forth can all point to issues with your Jaguar XJ6 shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 1983 Jaguar XJ6’s shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician. Save yourself the shock of steering and suspension problems by scheduling an appointment at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

1983 XJ6 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 alert you to the need for 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 XJ6? Rotations and alignments involve minor tweaks that have a major impact. Both services help ensure that the correct amount of pressure is applied to each tire and that your tires come into contact with the road as they should.
  • Does my Jaguar XJ6 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 XJ6’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll follow Jaguar service specifications when topping it off to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • Why does my Jaguar XJ6 bounce so much? If your shocks or struts are in bad shape, they can’t dampen road bumps like they should. This can cause your XJ6 to bounce more than usual.
  • Why does my XJ6 front end dip forward when I brake? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your XJ6'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 do worn Jaguar XJ6 shocks feel like? Worn XJ6 shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your XJ6 might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your XJ6 shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
