Does Your 2006 Jaguar XJ8 Suspension Need Inspection?

During the first few years you had your 2006 Jaguar XJ8, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Perhaps your XJ8 feels bouncy, sways 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 2006 Jaguar XJ8 in for steering and suspension repairs. 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 parts, wheel bearings, and the power steering system. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if your XJ8 suspension system needs repair, 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 2006 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. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your XJ8’s shocks and struts since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. A bouncy ride, swaying, or rocking forward and backward 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 inspected by a trusted technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride.

2006 XJ8 Steering & Suspension Questions

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my XJ8's steering and suspension? Maintaining your tires 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? 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 your tires come into contact with the road as they should.
  • When does Jaguar XJ8 power steering fluid need to be inspected or changed? Have your power steering fluid inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. 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 so much? 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 tilt forward when I hit 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 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.
