Does Your 2002 Jaguar XKR Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first drove your 2002 Jaguar XKR, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Perhaps your XKR feels bouncy, drifts 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 2002 Jaguar XKR, bring it in for steering and suspension services. 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 take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shock dampeners, damper springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis parts, axle bearings, and the power steering system. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if steering and suspension service is needed, 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 Jaguar XKR’s suspension or steering system components need to be replaced due to wear and tear, we may also recommend an alignment. Replacing these parts can change the existing ride height and wheel angles.

Shock & Strut Replacements for Your Jaguar XKR

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2002 Jaguar XKR suspension system. 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 2002 Jaguar XKR shock and strut replacement 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 shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 2002 Jaguar XKR’s shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician. Schedule an appointment online and visit your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

2002 XKR Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my XKR's steering and suspension? Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, and also alert you to the need for new 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 XKR? 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 your tires come into contact with the road as they should.
  • When does Jaguar XKR 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 XKR’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll top it off per Jaguar's guidelines to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • What can cause my Jaguar XKR to have a bouncy ride? If your shocks or struts are in bad shape, they can’t dampen road bumps like they should. This can cause your XKR to bounce more than usual.
  • What can cause the front end of my XKR to dip forward when I apply the brakes? As you brake, the forward momentum of your XKR 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 can I tell if the shocks on my Jaguar XKR are bad? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your XKR feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your XKR travels over minor bumps.
