When To Get 1987 Jaguar XJ6 Suspension Service

During the first few years you had your 1987 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. Maybe your XJ6 bounces, leans to one side, or makes an unusual noise when going over a speed bump. The first sign of problems is a good time to bring your 1987 Jaguar XJ6 in for steering and suspension repairs. 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 absorbers, coil springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis components, wheel bearings, and the power steering system. We’ll get to the root of the issue 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 suggest a wheel alignment because installing new steering and suspension components may alter wheel angles and ride height.

Jaguar XJ6 Replacement Shocks & Struts

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 1987 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 components work together to limit vibration and keep your Jaguar up off the ground. But there's no set schedule for 1987 Jaguar XJ6 shock and strut replacement since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. Bouncing, side-to-side swaying, or an unusual rocking sensation could all be indicators of worn Jaguar XJ6 shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 1987 Jaguar XJ6 suspension shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician.

Questions About 1987 Jaguar XJ6 Steering & Suspension

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my XJ6'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. Uneven tire wear is one sign of steering and suspension system problems, but it can also contribute to more.
  • 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 right amount of pressure is being applied to all tires and that your tires come into contact with the road as they should.
  • When should I have my Jaguar XJ6 power steering fluid checked? Have your power steering fluid inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. If your XJ6’s power steering fluid is low, we can fill it per Jaguar's recommendations to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • Why is my Jaguar XJ6 bouncing excessively? Excessive bouncing in your Jaguar XJ6 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.
  • What can cause the front end of my XJ6 to dip forward when I apply the brakes? 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.
  • How can I tell if the shocks on my Jaguar XJ6 are bad? If your XJ6 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 XJ6 might also feel like it sways or rolls as you turn.
