Does Your 2008 Jaguar XKR Suspension Need Inspection?

During the first few years you had your 2008 Jaguar XKR, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Maybe your XKR jolts, leans to one side, or makes an unusual noise when going over a speed bump. The first sign of problems is a good time to bring your 2008 Jaguar XKR in for steering and suspension repairs. 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 dampeners, coil springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis components, wheel bearings, and power steering components. 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 a wheel alignment since replacing steering and suspension parts can change existing wheel angles and ride height.

Jaguar XKR Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Your 2008 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. While the struts support the structure of the suspension, the shocks keep the car from bouncing too much. These components work together to reduce vibration and maintain your car’s height. But there's no set schedule for 2008 Jaguar XKR shock and strut replacement since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. A bouncy ride, swaying from side to side, or an unusual rocking sensation could all be signs of worn Jaguar XKR shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 2008 Jaguar XKR’s shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride. Schedule an appointment for steering and suspension services at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

2008 XKR Steering & Suspension Questions

  • 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. 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. 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 the tires connect with the road how Jaguar intended.
  • When does Jaguar XKR power steering fluid need to be inspected or changed? Have your power steering fluid inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. 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 so much? 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.
  • Why does my XKR front end dip forward when I brake? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your XKR's front end to dip forward. A damaged or faulty suspension system may fail to distribute the weight and force effectively, causing the front end to dip even more.
  • What are the signs that the shocks on my Jaguar XKR need replacing? 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.
