Does Your 2002 Jaguar XJ8 Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first drove your 2002 Jaguar XJ8, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Perhaps your XJ8 feels bouncy, drifts to one side, or makes a weird sound when you drive over a speed bump or turn. The first sign of trouble is the best time to bring your 2002 Jaguar XJ8 in for suspension and steering service. We can pinpoint the source of the trouble.

We'll start by inspecting the suspension system to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll check the front and rear suspension, shock dampeners, springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis parts, wheel hub bearings, and power steering components. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if your car needs steering and suspension repairs, we’ll explain what your car needs and how much it’ll cost to get it done. We won't begin any work without your permission. If your XJ8 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.

Shock & Strut Replacements for Your Jaguar XJ8

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2002 Jaguar XJ8’s suspension. 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 reduce vibration and maintain your car’s height. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your XJ8’s shocks and struts since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. Bouncing, 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 routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride. Schedule an appointment for steering and suspension services at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

Questions About 2002 Jaguar XJ8 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 XJ8? Rotations and alignments involve minor tweaks that have a major impact. Both services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to all 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 inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. If your XJ8 is low on power steering fluid, we’ll top it off per Jaguar's guidelines to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • Why is my Jaguar XJ8 bouncing excessively? If your shocks or struts are in bad shape, they can’t dampen road bumps like they should. This can cause your XJ8 to bounce more than usual.
  • Why does my XJ8 front end dip forward when I brake? As you brake, the forward momentum of your XJ8 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 do I know if I have worn Jaguar XJ8 shocks? 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.
