When To Get 2009 Jaguar XKR Suspension Service

When you first drove your 2009 Jaguar XKR, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Maybe your XKR bounces, sways 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 2009 Jaguar XKR, bring it in for suspension and steering service. We'll pinpoint the problem.

The expert technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will begin with an inspection to find out what's really going on. We’ll check the front and rear suspension, shock absorbers, springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis parts, axle bearings, and the power steering system. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if your car needs steering and suspension repairs, 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 suggest a wheel alignment because installing new steering and suspension components may alter wheel angles and ride height.

Jaguar XKR Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Your 2009 Jaguar XKR’s suspension system relies on its shocks and struts to function properly. They help you stay in control as your car handles bumpy roads and uneven terrain. 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. 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 an unusual rocking sensation could all be signs of worn Jaguar XKR shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2009 Jaguar XKR suspension 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 2009 Jaguar XKR Steering & Suspension

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my XKR's steering and suspension? Maintaining your tires 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? 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 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 power steering fluid needs to be filled, we’ll top it off per Jaguar's guidelines 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'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.
  • What are the signs that the shocks on my Jaguar XKR need replacing? 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.
