When To Get 2008 Jaguar XJ8 Suspension Service

During the first few years you had your 2008 Jaguar XJ8, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Perhaps your XJ8 feels bouncy, sways to one side, or makes an unusual noise when going over a speed bump. The first sign of problems is a good time to bring your 2008 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 take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shocks, coil springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis parts, axle bearings, and the power steering system. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if steering and suspension service is needed, we’ll go over the services you need and how much they will cost before we do any work. If your Jaguar XJ8’s suspension or steering system components need to be replaced due to wear and tear, we may also suggest a wheel alignment because installing new steering and suspension components may alter wheel angles and ride height.

Jaguar XJ8 Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Your 2008 Jaguar XJ8’s suspension system relies on its shocks and struts to function properly. They help you stay in control as your car handles bumpy roads and uneven terrain. Shocks keep the car from bouncing too much and struts support the structure of the suspension. These pieces work together to help dampen vibration and hold the car 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 from side to side, 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 2008 Jaguar XJ8 suspension 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.

Questions About 2008 Jaguar XJ8 Steering & Suspension

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my XJ8's steering and suspension? Maintaining your tires can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also help you notice when you need new 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? Rotation and alignment are all about making small tweaks that have a big impact. Both services help ensure that the correct amount of pressure is applied to each tire and that your tires come into contact with the road as they should.
  • When should I have my Jaguar XJ8 power steering fluid 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 can fill it per Jaguar's recommendations 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.
  • Why does my XJ8's nose dive down 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.
  • What do worn Jaguar XJ8 shocks feel like? 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.
