When To Get 2012 Jaguar XKR-S Suspension Service

During the first few years you had your 2012 Jaguar XKR-S, 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 XKR-S bounces, sways to one side, or makes noise whenever you turn or drive over a speed bump. As soon as you notice that something’s “off” with your 2012 Jaguar XKR-S, bring it in for steering and suspension repairs. We'll figure out what needs to be taken care of, if anything.

The expert technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will begin with an inspection to find out what's really going on. We’ll check the front and rear suspension, shock absorbers, coil springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis, axle bearings, and power steering components. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if your XKR-S suspension system needs repair, we’ll go over the services you need and how much they will cost before we do any work. If parts of your Jaguar XKR-S suspension or steering system need to be replaced because they're worn or damaged, we may also recommend an alignment. Replacing these parts can change the existing ride height and wheel angles.

Jaguar XKR-S Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Your 2012 Jaguar XKR-S’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. Shocks keep the car from bouncing too much and struts support the structure of the suspension. These components work together to limit vibration and keep your Jaguar up off the ground. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 2012 Jaguar XKR-S’s shocks and struts replaced since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. A bouncy ride, side-to-side swaying, or rocking back and forth could all be signs of worn Jaguar XKR-S shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your XKR-S’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.

2012 XKR-S Steering & Suspension Questions

  • What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in my Jaguar's suspension? Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, and also help you notice when you need 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 XKR-S? 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 your tires come into contact with the road as they should.
  • When should I have my Jaguar XKR-S power steering fluid checked? Have your power steering fluid inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. If your XKR-S’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll follow Jaguar service specifications when topping it off to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • What can cause my Jaguar XKR-S to have a bouncy ride? Excessive bouncing in your Jaguar XKR-S 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 XKR-S to dip forward when I apply the brakes? The forward dip in the front end of your XKR-S 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 are the signs that the shocks on my Jaguar XKR-S need replacing? Worn XKR-S shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your XKR-S might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your XKR-S shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
