When To Get 1984 Jaguar XJS Suspension Service

When you first drove your 1984 Jaguar XJS, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Maybe your XJS bounces, 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 1984 Jaguar XJS, bring it in for steering and suspension services. We'll pinpoint the problem.

The technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will start with a suspension inspection to diagnose your vehicle. We will examine the front and rear end suspension, shocks, damper springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis parts, wheel hub bearings, and power steering components. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if your XJS suspension system needs repair, we’ll explain what your car needs and how much it’ll cost to get it done. We won't begin any work without your permission. If your XJS steering or suspension system requires replacement parts, we may also suggest a wheel alignment because installing new steering and suspension components may alter wheel angles and ride height.

Jaguar XJS Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 1984 Jaguar XJS suspension system. They influence the control and handling of the vehicle, keeping it from bottoming out. Struts support the structure of the suspension and shocks keep the car from bouncing too much. These components work together to reduce vibration and maintain your car’s height. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 1984 Jaguar XJS’s shocks and struts replaced since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. A bouncy ride, swaying, or rocking forward and backward could all be signs of worn Jaguar XJS shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 1984 Jaguar XJS’s shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride. Schedule an appointment for steering and suspension services at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

1984 XJS Steering & Suspension Questions

  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact my Jaguar's suspension? Keeping your tires properly inflated can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also alert you to the need for new tires. A tire that doesn't have an adequate amount of tread can't grip the road or function as well as the manufacturer intended.
  • Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important for my Jaguar XJS? 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 XJS 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 XJS is low on power steering fluid, we’ll follow Jaguar service specifications when topping it off to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • Why does my Jaguar XJS bounce so much? If it feels like you’re on a trampoline every time your XJS 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 XJS 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 are the signs that the shocks on my Jaguar XJS need replacing? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your XJS feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your XJS travels over minor bumps.
