Does Your 1996 Jaguar XJR Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first bought your 1996 Jaguar XJR, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Maybe your XJR jolts, pulls to one side, or makes an unusual noise when going over a speed bump. As soon as you notice that something’s “off” with your 1996 Jaguar XJR, bring it in for steering and suspension services. We can pinpoint the source of the trouble.

The technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will start with a suspension inspection to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll check the front and rear suspension, shock absorbers, damper springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis parts, wheel bearings, and the power steering system. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if your XJR suspension system needs repair, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If your Jaguar XJR’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 XJR

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 1996 Jaguar XJR’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 XJR’s shocks and struts 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 XJR shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 1996 Jaguar XJR’s shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician. Save yourself the shock of steering and suspension problems by scheduling an appointment at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

Questions About 1996 Jaguar XJR Steering & Suspension

  • What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in my Jaguar's 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 XJR? Rotations and alignments involve minor tweaks that have a major 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.
  • Does my Jaguar XJR power steering fluid need to be checked? Have your power steering fluid inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. If your XJR is low on power steering fluid, we’ll follow Jaguar service specifications when topping it off to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • Why does my Jaguar XJR bounce so much? Excessive bouncing in your Jaguar XJR might be due to damaged struts or shocks that are unable to absorb road bumps effectively, causing your vehicle to feel more like a pogo stick than a smooth ride.
  • Why does my XJR front end dip forward when I brake? 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 XJR shocks feel like? Worn XJR shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your XJR might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your XJR shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
