Is It Time For 2005 Jaguar XJ8 Suspension Service?

When you first drove your 2005 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, leans to one side, or makes a weird sound when you drive over a speed bump or turn. As soon as you notice that something’s “off” with your 2005 Jaguar XJ8, bring it in for steering and suspension services. 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 dampeners, coil springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis parts, wheel bearings, and power steering components. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if steering and suspension service is needed, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If your XJ8 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 XJ8 Replacement Shocks & Struts

Your 2005 Jaguar XJ8’s suspension system relies on its shocks and struts to function properly. 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 reduce vibration and maintain your car’s height. But there's no set schedule for 2005 Jaguar XJ8 shock and strut replacement since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. Bouncing, side-to-side swaying, or an unusual rocking sensation could all be indicators of worn Jaguar XJ8 shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2005 Jaguar XJ8 suspension shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician.

Questions About 2005 Jaguar XJ8 Steering & Suspension

  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact my Jaguar's suspension? Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, and also alert you to the need for new 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? Alignment and rotation seem like minor services, but they have a major impact on your vehicle. 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? 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 your suspension perform smoothly.
  • Why does my Jaguar XJ8 bounce so much? 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.
  • What can cause the front end of my XJ8 to dip forward when I apply the brakes? The forward dip in the front end of your XJ8 when you brake is caused by the weight and momentum transferring to the front wheels. If your suspension system is in bad shape, it can fail to distribute this force, leading your front end to dip further downward.
  • How can I tell if the shocks on my Jaguar XJ8 are bad? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your XJ8 feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your XJ8 travels over minor bumps.
