Is It Time For 1990 Jaguar XJS Suspension Service?

When you first bought your 1990 Jaguar XJS, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Maybe your XJS bounces, pulls 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 1990 Jaguar XJS, bring it in for suspension and steering service. We'll pinpoint the problem.

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, shocks, damper springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis, wheel bearings, and power steering system parts. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if your car needs steering and suspension repairs, we’ll go over the services you need and how much they will cost before we do any work. If parts of your Jaguar XJS 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 XJS Replacement Shocks & Struts

Your 1990 Jaguar XJS’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. Struts support the structure of the suspension and 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 getting your 1990 Jaguar XJS’s shocks and struts replaced since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. Bouncing, swaying from side to side, or rocking back and forth can all point to issues with your Jaguar XJS shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your XJS’s shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician. Schedule an appointment online and visit your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

1990 XJS Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my XJS's steering and suspension? Maintaining your tires 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.
  • Why bother with routine wheel alignments and tire rotations for my Jaguar XJS? Rotation and alignment are all about making small tweaks that have a big impact. Such services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to your tires and that the tires come into contact with the road in the way Jaguar intended.
  • When does Jaguar XJS power steering fluid need to be inspected or changed? Get your power steering fluid check out when you get an oil change or every couple of months. If your XJS is low on power steering fluid, we can fill it per Jaguar's recommendations to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • Why is my Jaguar XJS bouncing so much? Excessive bouncing in your Jaguar XJS 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.
  • What can cause the front end of my XJS to dip forward when I apply the brakes? As you brake, the forward momentum of your XJS combined with its weight sends a ton of force to its front end. A damaged or worn suspension system can cause the front end to compress and dip even further.
  • 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.
