Is It Time For 2011 Jaguar XKR Suspension Service?

During the first few years you had your 2011 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 2011 Jaguar XKR, bring it in for suspension and steering service. We can pinpoint the source of the trouble.

The technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will start with a suspension inspection to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shock dampeners, coil springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis components, wheel bearings, and the power steering system. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if your XKR suspension system needs repair, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. 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 Replacement Shocks & Struts

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2011 Jaguar XKR’s suspension. They help you stay in control as your car handles bumpy roads and uneven terrain. Shocks keep the car from bouncing too much and struts support the structure of the suspension. These components work together to limit vibration and keep your Jaguar up off the ground. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your XKR’s shocks and struts since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. Bouncing, swaying, or an unusual rocking sensation could all be signs of worn Jaguar XKR shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your XKR’s shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician. Schedule an appointment online and visit your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

2011 XKR Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in my Jaguar's suspension? Keeping your tires properly inflated can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also alert you to the need for new 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.
  • Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important for my Jaguar XKR? Rotation and alignment are all about making small tweaks that have a big impact. Both services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to all tires and that your tires come into contact with the road as they should.
  • Does my Jaguar XKR power steering fluid need to be 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 optimally.
  • Why is my Jaguar XKR bouncing excessively? Damaged struts or shocks can't dampen road bumps properly, causing your vehicle to feel like a trampoline after each dip or bump.
  • What can cause the front end of my XKR to dip forward when I apply 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.
  • How do I know if I have worn Jaguar XKR shocks? 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.
