Does Your 1999 Jaguar XJ8 Suspension Need Inspection?

During the first few years you had your 1999 Jaguar XJ8, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Maybe your XJ8 bounces, leans 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 1999 Jaguar XJ8 in for steering and suspension services. 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 will examine the front and rear end suspension, shock absorbers, coil springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis, wheel hub bearings, and the power steering system. We’ll get to the source of your car problems 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 Jaguar XJ8’s suspension or steering system components need to be replaced due to wear and tear, we may also recommend a wheel alignment since replacing steering and suspension parts can change existing wheel angles and ride height.

Jaguar XJ8 Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 1999 Jaguar XJ8’s suspension. They contribute to your car’s handling, keeping it from bottoming out when the road gets bumpy. 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 getting your 1999 Jaguar XJ8’s shocks and struts replaced since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. A bouncy ride, swaying, or an unusual rocking sensation can all point to issues with your Jaguar XJ8 shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your XJ8’s shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician. Schedule an appointment online and visit your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

1999 XJ8 Steering & Suspension Questions

  • What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in my Jaguar's suspension? Maintaining your tires 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.
  • Why bother with routine wheel alignments and tire rotations for my Jaguar XJ8? 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 connect with the road how Jaguar intended.
  • Does my Jaguar XJ8 power steering fluid need to be checked? Have your power steering fluid checked when you get an oil change or every few months. If your XJ8’s power steering fluid is low, we can fill it per Jaguar's recommendations to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • Why is my Jaguar XJ8 bouncing excessively? Damaged struts or shocks can't dampen road bumps properly, causing your vehicle to feel like a trampoline after each dip or bump.
  • Why does my XJ8's nose dive down when I hit the brakes? When you brake, the forward momentum combined with your vehicle's weight sends a lot of force to the vehicle's front end. A bad suspension can cause all that weight and force to push the front end downward.
  • What do worn Jaguar XJ8 shocks feel like? Worn XJ8 shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your XJ8 might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your XJ8 shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
