Does Your 1992 Jaguar XJS Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first drove your 1992 Jaguar XJS, 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 XJS jolts, pulls to one side, or makes a weird sound when you drive over a speed bump or turn. The first sign of trouble is the best time to bring your 1992 Jaguar XJS in for steering and suspension services. We'll figure out what needs to be taken care of, if anything.

The technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will start with a suspension inspection to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shock absorbers, springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis, wheel hub bearings, and power steering components. We’ll get to the source of your car problems 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 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

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 1992 Jaguar XJS’s suspension. 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 limit vibration and keep your Jaguar up off the ground. But there's no set schedule for 1992 Jaguar XJS shock and strut replacement since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. Bouncing, swaying from side to side, or an unusual rocking sensation 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 regularly inspected by a trusted technician. Schedule an appointment online and visit your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

1992 XJS Steering & Suspension Questions

  • 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. Uneven tire wear is one sign of steering and suspension system problems, but it can also contribute to more.
  • Why bother with routine wheel alignments and tire rotations for my Jaguar XJS? Rotations and alignments involve minor tweaks that have a major impact. Such services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to your tires and that the tires connect with the road how Jaguar intended.
  • When should I have my Jaguar XJS power steering fluid checked? 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’ll follow Jaguar service specifications when topping it off to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • Why is my Jaguar XJS bouncing excessively? 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.
  • Why does my XJS's nose dive down when I hit the brakes? The forward dip in the front end of your XJS 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.
  • How do I know if I have worn Jaguar XJS shocks? Worn XJS shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your XJS might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your XJS shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
