When To Get 1985 Jaguar XJ6 Suspension Service

During the first few years you had your 1985 Jaguar XJ6, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Perhaps your XJ6 feels bouncy, leans to one side, or makes a weird sound when you drive over a speed bump or turn. As soon as you notice that something’s “off” with your 1985 Jaguar XJ6, bring it in for suspension and steering service. We'll figure out what needs to be taken care of, if anything.

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 absorbers, damper springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis, axle bearings, and the power steering system. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if steering and suspension service is needed, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If your XJ6 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 XJ6 Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 1985 Jaguar XJ6’s suspension. 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 XJ6’s shocks and struts since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. Bouncing, swaying, or rocking back and forth could all be indicators of worn Jaguar XJ6 shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 1985 Jaguar XJ6’s shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician.

1985 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 help you notice when you need new tires. A faltering steering and suspension system could lead to uneven tire wear.
  • Why bother with routine wheel alignments and tire rotations for my Jaguar XJ6? 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 connect with the road how Jaguar intended.
  • When does Jaguar XJ6 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 XJ6 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 XJ6 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 XJ6 to bounce more than usual.
  • Why does my XJ6 front end dip forward when I brake? As you brake, the forward momentum of your XJ6 combined with its weight sends a ton of force to its front end. A damaged or worn suspension system can cause the front end to compress and dip even further.
  • What are the signs that the shocks on my Jaguar XJ6 need replacing? Worn XJ6 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.
