When To Get 2000 Jaguar XKR Suspension Service

When you first drove your 2000 Jaguar XKR, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Maybe your XKR jolts, drifts to one side, or makes an unusual noise when going over a speed bump. The first sign of trouble is the best time to bring your 2000 Jaguar XKR in for suspension and steering service. We can pinpoint the source of the trouble.

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, struts, bushings, chassis parts, axle bearings, and power steering components. 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 XKR suspension or steering system need to be replaced because they're worn or damaged, we may also recommend a wheel alignment since replacing steering and suspension parts can change existing wheel angles and ride height.

Shock & Strut Replacements for Your Jaguar XKR

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2000 Jaguar XKR suspension system. They contribute to your car’s handling, keeping it from bottoming out when the road gets bumpy. Struts support the structure of the suspension and shocks keep the car from bouncing too much. These pieces work together to help dampen vibration and hold the car off the ground. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your XKR’s shocks and struts since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. A bouncy ride, swaying, or rocking back and forth could all be indicators of worn Jaguar XKR shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 2000 Jaguar XKR’s shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride.

2000 XKR Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in my Jaguar's 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 should my Jaguar XKR get regular tire rotations and wheel alignments? Regularly rotate tires and adjust wheel alignment. 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.
  • When does Jaguar XKR power steering fluid need to be inspected or changed? Have your power steering fluid checked when you get an oil change or every few months. If your power steering fluid needs to be filled, we’ll top it off per Jaguar's guidelines to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • Why does my Jaguar XKR bounce so much? Damaged struts or shocks can't dampen road bumps properly, causing your vehicle to feel like a trampoline after each dip or bump.
  • Why does my XKR's nose dive down when I hit the brakes? The forward dip in the front end of your XKR 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 can I tell if the shocks on my Jaguar XKR are bad? Worn XKR shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your XKR might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your XKR shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
