Is It Time For 1999 Jaguar XJR Suspension Service?

During the first few years you had your 1999 Jaguar XJR, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Maybe your XJR jolts, drifts to one side, or makes noise whenever you turn or drive over a speed bump. The first sign of problems is a good time to bring your 1999 Jaguar XJR in for suspension and steering service. We'll pinpoint the problem.

We'll start by inspecting the suspension system to diagnose your vehicle. We will examine the front and rear end suspension, shocks, springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis, wheel bearings, and the power steering system. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if your car needs steering and suspension repairs, 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 suggest a wheel alignment because installing new steering and suspension components may alter wheel angles and ride height.

Shock & Strut Replacements for Your Jaguar XJR

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 1999 Jaguar XJR suspension system. 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. But there's no set schedule for 1999 Jaguar XJR shock and strut replacement since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. A bouncy ride, swaying from side to side, or rocking forward and backward could all be indicators of worn Jaguar XJR shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 1999 Jaguar XJR 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.

1999 XJR Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact my Jaguar's 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 faltering steering and suspension system could lead to uneven tire wear.
  • Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important for my Jaguar XJR? 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 the tires connect with the road how Jaguar intended.
  • When does Jaguar XJR 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 XJR’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll top it off per Jaguar's guidelines to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • What can cause my Jaguar XJR to have a bouncy ride? If it feels like you’re on a trampoline every time your XJR 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.
  • What can cause the front end of my XJR to dip forward when I apply the brakes? The forward dip in the front end of your XJR 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.
  • 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.
