Is It Time For 2003 Jaguar XKR Suspension Service?

When you first drove your 2003 Jaguar XKR, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Perhaps your XKR feels bouncy, drifts 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 2003 Jaguar XKR, bring it in for steering and suspension services. We can pinpoint the source of the trouble.

We'll start by inspecting the suspension system to diagnose your vehicle. We will examine the front and rear end suspension, shocks, springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis, axle bearings, and power steering system parts. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if steering and suspension service is needed, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If your XKR 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 XKR Replacement Shocks & Struts

Your 2003 Jaguar XKR’s suspension system relies on its shocks and struts to function properly. They contribute to your car’s handling, keeping it from bottoming out when the road gets bumpy. Shocks keep the car from bouncing too much and struts support the structure of the suspension. These components work together to reduce vibration and maintain your car’s height. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your XKR’s shocks and struts since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. A bouncy ride, side-to-side swaying, or rocking forward and backward can all point to issues with your Jaguar XKR shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 2003 Jaguar XKR’s shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride.

2003 XKR Steering & Suspension Questions

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my XKR's steering and suspension? Keeping your tires properly inflated can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also let you know when it's time to replace your 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.
  • Why bother with routine wheel alignments and tire rotations for my Jaguar XKR? 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 power steering fluid checked? Have your power steering fluid checked when you get an oil change or every few months. If your XKR is low on power steering fluid, we’ll top it off per Jaguar's guidelines to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • What can cause my Jaguar XKR to have a bouncy ride? 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? 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.
  • What do worn Jaguar XKR shocks feel like? If your XKR 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 XKR might also feel like it sways or rolls as you turn.
