Does Your 1997 Jaguar XJR Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first bought your 1997 Jaguar XJR, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Perhaps your XJR feels bouncy, drifts 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 1997 Jaguar XJR in for steering and suspension repairs. We can pinpoint the source of the trouble.

We'll start by inspecting the suspension system to diagnose your vehicle. We will examine the front and rear end suspension, shock absorbers, springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis components, wheel bearings, and the power steering system. We’ll get to the source of your car problems 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 parts of your Jaguar XJR suspension or steering system need to be replaced because they're worn or damaged, we may also suggest a wheel alignment because installing new steering and suspension components may alter wheel angles and ride height.

Jaguar XJR Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 1997 Jaguar XJR suspension system. 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. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 1997 Jaguar XJR’s shocks and struts replaced since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. Bouncing, side-to-side swaying, or rocking back and forth can all point to issues with your Jaguar XJR shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 1997 Jaguar XJR suspension 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.

1997 XJR Steering & Suspension Questions

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my XJR's steering and suspension? Maintaining your tires can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also help you notice when you need new tires. A faltering steering and suspension system could lead to uneven tire wear.
  • 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 right amount of pressure is being applied to all tires and that the tires connect with the road how Jaguar intended.
  • When should I have my Jaguar XJR power steering fluid checked? Have your power steering fluid inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. If your XJR’s power steering fluid is low, 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'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 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.
