When To Get 2003 Jaguar XJ8 Suspension Service

During the first few years you had your 2003 Jaguar XJ8, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Perhaps your XJ8 feels bouncy, pulls to one side, or makes an unusual noise when going over a speed bump. The first sign of trouble is the best time to bring your 2003 Jaguar XJ8 in for suspension and steering service. We'll pinpoint the problem.

We'll start by inspecting the suspension system to diagnose your vehicle. We will examine the front and rear end suspension, shock dampeners, springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis, wheel hub bearings, and power steering system parts. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if your XJ8 suspension system needs repair, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. 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.

Shock & Strut Replacements for Your Jaguar XJ8

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2003 Jaguar XJ8’s suspension. They help you stay in control as your car handles bumpy roads and uneven terrain. 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 2003 Jaguar XJ8 shock and strut replacement since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. A bouncy ride, side-to-side swaying, or rocking forward and backward could all be indicators of worn Jaguar XJ8 shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 2003 Jaguar XJ8’s shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician. Save yourself the shock of steering and suspension problems by scheduling an appointment at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

2003 XJ8 Steering & Suspension Questions

  • What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in my Jaguar's suspension? Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, and also let you know when it's time to replace your tires. A faltering steering and suspension system could lead to uneven tire wear.
  • Why bother with routine wheel alignments and tire rotations for my Jaguar XJ8? Alignment and rotation seem like minor services, but they have a major impact on your vehicle. Both services help ensure that the correct amount of pressure is applied to each tire 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 ensure proper suspension operation.
  • Why is my Jaguar XJ8 bouncing excessively? If it feels like you’re on a trampoline every time your XJ8 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 XJ8 tilt forward 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.
  • How do I know if I have worn Jaguar XJ8 shocks? Worn XJ8 shock absorbers can cause your vehicle to feel like it's bouncing or hopping over bumps instead of absorbing the impacts smoothly. You may also experience more body roll when turning.
