When To Get 2007 Jaguar XJ8 Suspension Service

When you first bought your 2007 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, 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 2007 Jaguar XJ8, bring it in for suspension and steering service. We'll pinpoint the problem.

We'll start by inspecting the suspension system to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll check the front and rear suspension, shock absorbers, springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis parts, wheel hub bearings, and the power steering system. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if your XJ8 suspension system needs repair, we’ll go over the services you need and how much they will cost before we do any work. If parts of your Jaguar XJ8 suspension or steering system need to be replaced because they're worn or damaged, 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

Your 2007 Jaguar XJ8’s suspension system relies on its shocks and struts to function properly. They influence the control and handling of the vehicle, keeping it from bottoming out. While the struts support the structure of the suspension, the shocks keep the car from bouncing too much. These pieces work together to help dampen vibration and hold the car off the ground. But there's no set schedule for 2007 Jaguar XJ8 shock and strut replacement since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. Bouncing, swaying from side to side, or rocking back and forth could all be indicators of worn Jaguar XJ8 shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your XJ8’s shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician. Schedule an appointment online and visit your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

2007 XJ8 Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my XJ8's steering and 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. Uneven tire wear is one sign of steering and suspension system problems, but it can also contribute to more.
  • Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important 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 come into contact with the road in the way Jaguar intended.
  • When does Jaguar XJ8 power steering fluid need to be inspected or changed? Have your power steering fluid checked when you get an oil change or every few 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 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.
  • What can cause the front end of my XJ8 to dip forward when I apply the brakes? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your XJ8's front end to dip forward. A damaged or faulty suspension system may fail to distribute the weight and force effectively, causing the front end to dip even more.
  • How can I tell if the shocks on my Jaguar XJ8 are bad? 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.
