When To Get 1997 Jaguar XJ6 Suspension Service

When you first bought your 1997 Jaguar XJ6, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Maybe your XJ6 jolts, drifts to one side, or makes noise whenever you turn or drive over a speed bump. The first sign of problems is a good time to bring your 1997 Jaguar XJ6 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’ll take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shock absorbers, damper springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis, wheel bearings, and the power steering system. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if your XJ6 suspension system needs repair, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If your Jaguar XJ6’s suspension or steering system components need to be replaced due to wear and tear, we may also recommend an alignment. Replacing these parts can change the existing ride height and wheel angles.

Shock & Strut Replacements for Your Jaguar XJ6

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 1997 Jaguar XJ6 suspension system. They contribute to your car’s handling, keeping it from bottoming out when the road gets bumpy. Struts support the structure of the suspension and 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 1997 Jaguar XJ6 shock and strut replacement since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. Bouncing, swaying from side to side, or rocking forward and backward could all be indicators of worn Jaguar XJ6 shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 1997 Jaguar XJ6’s shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician.

Questions About 1997 Jaguar XJ6 Steering & Suspension

  • What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in my Jaguar's suspension? Keeping your tires properly inflated can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also alert you to the need for new tires. Uneven tire wear is one sign of steering and suspension system problems, but it can also contribute to more.
  • Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important for my Jaguar XJ6? Rotations and alignments involve minor tweaks that have a major impact. Such services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to your tires 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 power steering fluid needs to be filled, we’ll top it off per Jaguar's guidelines to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • Why is my Jaguar XJ6 bouncing so much? 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
