Is It Time For 2004 Jaguar XKR Suspension Service?

When you first drove your 2004 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. The first sign of trouble is the best time to bring your 2004 Jaguar XKR in for steering and suspension services. We'll pinpoint the problem.

We'll start by inspecting the suspension system to diagnose your vehicle. We will examine the front and rear end suspension, shock absorbers, damper springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis components, wheel hub bearings, and the power steering system. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if steering and suspension service is needed, we’ll go over the services you need and how much they will cost before we do any work. If your XKR steering or suspension system requires replacement parts, we may also suggest a wheel alignment because installing new steering and suspension components may alter wheel angles and ride height.

Jaguar XKR Replacement Shocks & Struts

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2004 Jaguar XKR’s suspension. They contribute to your car’s handling, keeping it from bottoming out when the road gets bumpy. While the struts support the structure of the suspension, the shocks keep the car from bouncing too much. These pieces work together to help dampen vibration and hold the car off the ground. But there's no set schedule for 2004 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 forward and backward could all be signs of worn Jaguar XKR shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 2004 Jaguar XKR’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.

Questions About 2004 Jaguar XKR Steering & Suspension

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my XKR's steering and suspension? Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, and also let you know when it's time to replace your tires. A faltering steering and suspension system could lead to uneven tire wear.
  • Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important for my Jaguar XKR? Alignment and rotation seem like minor services, but they have a major impact on your vehicle. Such services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to your tires and that the tires come into contact with the road in the way Jaguar intended.
  • 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 can fill it per Jaguar's recommendations to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • Why is my Jaguar XKR bouncing excessively? If it feels like you’re on a trampoline every time your XKR goes over a bump or dip, you may have a problem with your struts or shocks. Faulty shocks and struts can’t properly absorb road bumps, leading to a bouncy ride.
  • Why does my XKR tilt forward 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? 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.
