When To Get 1996 Jaguar XJ6 Suspension Service

When you first drove your 1996 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 jolts, 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 1996 Jaguar XJ6 in for steering and suspension repairs. 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’ll check the front and rear suspension, shock absorbers, damper springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis, axle 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 go over the services you need and how much they will cost before we do any work. If your XJ6 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.

Jaguar XJ6 Replacement Shocks & Struts

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 1996 Jaguar XJ6 suspension system. They help you stay in control as your car handles bumpy roads and uneven terrain. 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 1996 Jaguar XJ6 shock and strut replacement since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. A bouncy ride, swaying from side to side, or rocking forward and backward could all be signs of worn Jaguar XJ6 shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your XJ6’s shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician. Schedule an appointment online and visit your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

Questions About 1996 Jaguar XJ6 Steering & Suspension

  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact my Jaguar's 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? 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 XJ6 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 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? 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.
  • Why does my XJ6's nose dive down when I hit 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.
  • What are the signs that the shocks on my Jaguar XJ6 need replacing? 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.
