When To Get 1990 Jaguar XJ6 Suspension Service

When you first drove your 1990 Jaguar XJ6, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Maybe your XJ6 jolts, pulls 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 1990 Jaguar XJ6, bring it 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 will examine the front and rear end suspension, shock absorbers, springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis parts, wheel hub bearings, and power steering components. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if steering and suspension service is needed, 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 Replacement Shocks & Struts

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 1990 Jaguar XJ6 suspension system. 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 reduce vibration and maintain your car’s height. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 1990 Jaguar XJ6’s shocks and struts replaced since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. A bouncy ride, side-to-side swaying, or rocking forward and backward can all point to issues with your Jaguar XJ6 shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 1990 Jaguar XJ6 suspension 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.

1990 XJ6 Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • 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. 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 the tires come into contact with the road in the way Jaguar intended.
  • Does my Jaguar XJ6 power steering fluid need to be 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’ll follow Jaguar service specifications when topping it off to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • Why is my Jaguar XJ6 bouncing excessively? If it feels like you’re on a trampoline every time your XJ6 goes over a bump or dip, you may have a problem with your struts or shocks. Faulty shocks and struts can’t properly absorb road bumps, leading to a bouncy ride.
  • What can cause the front end of my XJ6 to dip forward when I apply the brakes? The forward dip in the front end of your XJ6 when you brake is caused by the weight and momentum transferring to the front wheels. If your suspension system is in bad shape, it can fail to distribute this force, leading your front end to dip further downward.
  • 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.
