When To Get 1991 Jaguar XJS Suspension Service

During the first few years you had your 1991 Jaguar XJS, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Maybe your XJS bounces, drifts to one side, or makes an unusual noise when going over a speed bump. The first sign of problems is a good time to bring your 1991 Jaguar XJS 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, shock absorbers, damper springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis parts, 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 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 recommend an alignment. Replacing these parts can change the existing ride height and wheel angles.

Jaguar XJS Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Your 1991 Jaguar XJS’s suspension system relies on its shocks and struts to function properly. They influence the control and handling of the vehicle, keeping it from bottoming out. 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 1991 Jaguar XJS shock and strut replacement since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. A bouncy ride, side-to-side swaying, or rocking forward and backward can all point to issues with your Jaguar XJS shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 1991 Jaguar XJS’s shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride. Schedule an appointment for steering and suspension services at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

1991 XJS Steering & Suspension Questions

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my XJS'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.
  • 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.
  • 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’s power steering fluid is low, we can fill it per Jaguar's recommendations to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • What can cause my Jaguar XJS to have a bouncy ride? 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? 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.
  • How do I know if I have worn Jaguar XJS shocks? If your XJS shock absorbers are worn out, they won’t be able to properly dampen road bumps. You might experience a bouncy or unstable ride, especially over bumps or rough roads. Your XJS might also feel like it sways or rolls as you turn.
